Joel Edmundson
On his takeaways from tonight’s game

Yeah, it’s a frustrating one. I thought we played well the first half and then only got a couple goals. The crowd came to life and we just couldn’t find ways to score. Goals aren’t coming easy for us right now, so I think we’ve just got to get back to the basics and get the net hard, and that’s when we were scoring more goals. So yeah, it’s frustrating, but it’s a long roadtrip and we’ve got a couple more games.
On what was lacking in the third period push down 3-2
I think just getting more pucks to the net, but at the same time, they did a good job of clearing pucks away and making it hard for us to get inside. It’s a tough league, we’ve got to find ways. We did that in Columbus, found a way to take it to overtime, but just didn’t have enough tonight.
On conceding shortly after taking a 2-0 lead
Yeah, I think that goal before the period definitely gave them life, but we still had the lead and still thought we were playing a good game. We were feeling good going in but they just had more chances and they buried.
On the type of response the team needs to have going into Florida on Wednesday
Just playoff intensity. I expect a 1-0, 2-0 game, like a really close game, that has no room. They play well at home, so we’ve got our work cut out for us, nut it’s always exciting to play the champs.

Jim Hiller
On the frustration of the team following tonight’s game

Yeah, I think we should be frustrated. I thought the first period was pretty good. Second period, lots of turnovers through the neutral zone, so we didn’t establish a forecheck. We did in the first and we didn’t in the second. If I had to pick one theme for us this year that, there’s been a lot of positives, but one theme that’s been negative is the second period turnovers. I don’t even want to say turnovers, just not being willing to forecheck in the second period.
On the game-winning goal and if that was a backbreaker for the group
Makes no sense. Makes no sense, that’s the way I look at that. We did a good job, we exited the puck, shorthanded, just a poor decision.
On the 5-on-3 goal coming on two offensive-zone penalties
The first one, Turc’s going for the puck, I have no issue with that. The second one, again, just not a good play. Then great execution by them on the 5-on-3, great pass, great shot, so not much you can do with that. Just can’t put yourself down 5-on-3.
On the push in the third period and if the team “ran out of gas”
I don’t know if it’s that. I think we were frustrated in the second period, probably in the second intermission. We had good energy after the first, second period we didn’t have the energy that we needed coming out of the dressing room. Coaches were mad, lots of people were mad. We just didn’t respond very well.
On getting a goal from Kevin Fiala and his level of play recently
Yeah, and give Phil credit, he was in front of Talbs on that one, Talbs didn’t have a chance to see that one. Kevin’s game is getting better, I think we’ve talked about that a little bit. I think it’s a pretty consistent level of intensity out of him, you know what I mean, and I think he’s much more dangerous, has the puck more. I think he’s going to have a really good second half.

Will be interesting to see if the Kings show signs of life or continue their slide. Sometimes (like last season) it is difficult to stop the snowball once it is going down the hill. Let's hope it is the former.

Go Kings!!!
 
Thanks Nyssa and Jammer!

The major clean hit I want to see is on Tkapuke! Early start again. I’ll be at work. C’mon Kings! A solid 60 minutes please. Go Kings Go!
