Brian Dumoulin & Jim Hiller 11/17 Post-Game Quotes
On his impressions from tonight’s game overall
I mean, I thought we worked. They made it hard on us, they defended really hard, blocked a lot of shots. You could tell they were desperate. I loved our fight, I thought we fought hard to the end. Obviously, it’s not easy circumstances, but I’m proud of our group and our roadtrip.
On if he felt the team had the legs and the sharpness they needed in Game 5 of 5
We were working. I mean, they did a good job of hanging onto pucks down there, they’re a big, strong team, they got to the net really hard. We knew it was going to be a tough game, but we gave ourselves a chance.
On his experience playing on the right side
It’s always tough in some situations, it’s good in some situations. I played a lot last year on the right side and a lot through my career with Kris. So, it’s nothing I’m not used to, but always a little bit of adjustment, you get a little bit more comfortable as you play more.
On how his pairing with Mikey Anderson came together
Yeah, without a doubt. I mean, he’s really solid defensively. He talks a lot, makes good, solid plays, and you know what he’s going to do with the puck. He’s an easy guy to read off of.
On his impressions of the trip as a whole, ending 4-1-0
We’re starting to get an identity. I think everyone is starting to feel their roles and know what they have to do to bring to this team for us to win. Now, obviously we’ve got to establish ourselves here on home ice now.
Jim Hiller
On his takeaways from tonight’s game
First period was the difference in the game, that was clear. We had lots of energy in the second and third, so there’s no reason why we didn’t start with the same energy. We made some mistakes and I guess we got what we deserved.
On two goals against that were very preventable
Well, you leave, first of all, one guy wide open in front of our net, then you leave number eight wide open in front of our net, it’s just not going to end very well. There’s just two mistakes, big mistakes, and they buried them.
On Darcy Kuemper’s play to keep the Kings within reach
I didn’t think they had a lot of shots in the last 40 minutes, but what they had was high quality, and he made some really good saves. He gave us a chance. I thought their goalie made some big saves at the end too, but yeah, just not enough finish for us.
On Jacob Moverare’s first full game of the season
Yeah, I thought he was good. He reminded me exactly how he played last year. He was actually evasive a little bit on the breakout, solid defensively, blocked some shots. He just did what he typically does, so that was a really good performance for him.
On if he puts the start at all down to travel and the end of a long trip.
We wanted to win the game tonight. I’m disappointed. We play, we’ve got to win. That should be the mindset and I just didn’t like how we started. We finished fine, the puck didn’t go in for us, but we just dug too big of a hole.
