Joel Edmundson & Jim Hiller 10/26 Post-Game Quotes
On finally getting that first regulation win of the season
Yeah, it’s about time. I thought every game was just going to go to overtime this year. Definitely feels nice, especially on the road.
On what changed for the Kings between the first and second periods
Sometimes with the back-to-back, some travel, it takes a little bit. We definitely weren’t happy with our first period, lots of turnovers, just wasn’t Kings hockey. But, we were still in the game thanks to Forsy, so we came out firing in the second.
On a cleaner defensive showings of late, the Nashville game aside
Our systems, not every team plays it and we’ve got some new guys in the locker room, so it takes time to adjust, but we’ ve found our groove now. It’s always nice to get on the road and play some good games.
On collecting three points from the back-to-back this weekend
Those are two good hockey teams and three of four points on the road, it’s pretty good. Obviously, we would have liked to win in Nashville but you can’t win them all. That’s definitely something we’re going to build on and the trip’s not finished yet. We have to go play San Jose and they’re playing good hockey.
Jim Hiller
On an update on forward Warren Foegele, who left the game in the first period
Only kind of what you guys know. He’ll get looked at a little closer tomorrow, couldn’t come back tonight We’ll probably have an update tomorrow or probably the following day, when we’re in San Jose.
On if last season’s 11/7 experience helped in going with 11 forwards for most of the game
It can be a little more chaotic on the bench but those guys have been through it. They beared with me different times, flipping the lines around, so we were good there. It ended up being pretty seamless.
On if he felt tonight was a “character win” for the team
Well, I sure thought so. I mean, the first period, we didn’t play any good at all. They played really well, so we had to reevaluate if the back-to-backs were worth it for us and I think we answered that in the final 40 minutes.
On what changed for the Kings between the first and second periods
We were playing underneath everything in the first 20 minutes and trying to make plays under their 1-1-3 and it didn’t turn out very well. So, we just started to get long, started to skate on pucks and just really simplified it.
On better “connectivity” between Fiala, Byfield and Laferriere tonight
Yeah, I mean the greatest example was the second period, Laf rolled out of the corner, Q found that quiet spot, he hit him with the backhand and he got his one timer for a pretty good shot and save. So that, to me, was the best example. That’s what they were missing in Nashville, specifically, Laf had the same spot Q was on the other side of the ice looking for a pass where here he found the soft spot. So, yeah, better, better all three. Laf scores a big goal, and really had his best game of the season overall. If you look at the total body of work, the penalty kill, everything involved and then Kevin scores a world class goal on his own, there’s not many guys who can do that. It’s a great goal and an individual effort.
On finally getting a win in regulation
Oh, it felt good. That tells me, yeah, that’s a pretty good streak, I think it was four in a row and five of six [that went into overtime]. This one was just as stressful, just like those other ones, it’s never easy. But it was nice to get a regulation win.
