Kempe, Ceci, & Fiala 10/23 Post-Game Quotes
On his overtime game-winning goal on the 2-on-1
I felt like the d-man was shifting over and the forward who was backchecking wasn’t really there, so I was expecting it, it was a great pass, not a great shot but it worked out, so I’m really happy with that.
On the Kings blocking shots and playing to their defensive identity
After every game we’re talking about it, in the meetings the next day, everybody’s coming in, we’re sore. It’s taken a lot of energy, but when you get the wins, it feels so much better. I think we’ve been grinding out pretty much every game all season, but that’s the way it’s going to be. I think the last 2-3 games here, we’ve been really showing up with a good identity and a grinding game. We’ve just got to keep that going I think.
On any updates on a new contract with the Kings
For me, the focus right now is just on the team and playing games. We’ve got so many games coming up, I haven’t really thought about that, I’m just focusing on playing. Like I’ve said before, I love all my teammates, everybody in LA, all the fans and everything. My intent is to stay and hopefully we can get it done.
Cody Ceci
On how he felt the Kings stepped up their game in the third period to get the win
I thought we just buckled down. We knew what was on the line, we knew it was going to be a close one tonight. It wasn’t necessarily a bunch of tic-tac-toe plays going on, we were kind of in each other’s face all night. We just kind of buckled down and got it to overtime, and then from there, let our skill guys take over.
On his goal and how he saw the play develop
Just a fortunate bounce for me. Bourquey was coming out to block it, it hit his stick, and kind of changed directions on Oetter. I’ve just been shooting a lot of pucks lately trying to get him to the net and sometimes they go in.
On Darcy Kuemper’s play tonight in helping to secure the two points
Yeah, he was huge tonight. He was huge on the kill, he was huge in the second period, making some big saves. Without him, I don’t think we got the two points tonight.
Kevin Fiala
On the team finding a way to get a win tonight
They came hard, again and we kind of tried everything to……we had a bad start, honestly. Got to be better next time, just play full 60 minutes. They outworked us and outcompeted us, in my opinion, in the start, and then I think we woke up a little bit there and Kuemps [played well]. Overall, we got the win. So, even days when we don’t feel it, we still can work hard and we did, in my opinion. It’s a good win.
On the importance of getting the power-play goal right before the intermission
For sure I thought that was huge. They really were on us, we didn’t have much in the start, so with the PP, it was a little bit of an icebreaker for us. Get that goal and have the lead and also a little bit more confidence and just playing with the lead is a little nicer.
On adding Corey Perry to the power play and his goal tonight
Great reaction by him. I shot it and it was like right in the net. He’s the best netfront guy in the league, forever, so happy to have him. He’s not scared of pucks. He stands in that front, makes plays, he’s done it all. So, very excited to have him here.
