Alex Iafallo & Todd McLellan 10/23/21 Post Game Quotes
Alex Iafallo
On if tonight?s game was about more than just the team?s play on special teams
It was kind of everything, it?s definitely not a game that we want to play, we?re embarrassed right now. Obviously each period, we?ve got to come together, whether it?s the power play, penalty kill, everything hurts tonight. We?ve got to bounce back and come together.
On the keys to an improved result in the rematch on Monday
Take a good look at ourselves tonight, take a look in the mirror, and remember our mistakes. At the same time, we?ve got to come together, talk more, take care of our chances, eliminate their chances.
On if there?s anything from playing last night that makes the team more prone to taking penalties, harder to take penalties
That shouldn?t be a factor. Some people might think it does, but you have to go out and do your job, take care of the penalty kill, the power play, everything. We?ve got to snap back from this and learn from what we did.
On what happened after a strong start to the game
I guess we just let up. We talked about having a good start and jumping on them, but we have to stay on them, in the offensive zone, keep going forward. We need all three periods next game and we need to be ready to go.
Todd McLellan
On if he agrees with Iafallo that tonight was about more than special teams
Yeah, for sure. If the rest of your game isn?t any good then the special teams aren?t going to be, but I think that set us up for the whole night. When you?re minus five in special teams situations, it?s not going anywhere for you. That?s the worst I?ve seen us penalty kill, maybe in the NHL, since I?ve been here, so that was very disappointing and our power play was just as bad. Obviously your 5-on-5 game isn?t going to be very good when that?s as bad as it is.
On what needs to change with the penalty kill
Faceoffs, retrievals, battles, blocked shots, clears, seams, goaltending. All six or seven of those things, so we?ve got a lot of work to do.
On what the team can change between now and Monday?s rematch
We?ll rest, we?ll look at the video and we?ll figure things out.
