Brandt Clarke (video), Adrian Kempe, and Jim Hiller 10/14 Post-Game Quotes


Adrian Kempe
On his takeaways from a disappointing night overall

Yeah, it’s tough right now. Not a good game from our side. We’re up 4-1 or 4-2, whatever it was in the second period and that’s just, I don’t care that they come back, we have to shut the game down at that point. Unacceptable from our side. Defending poorly, careless, everything. It wasn’t clicking tonight.
On the difficulties in establishing momentum in this game
I think kind of early in the second we had the momentum going the right way. I think everybody started feeling good and then a couple goals back and penalties started to happen, so yeah, a momentum shifter for sure, you kind of lose rhythm, all that kind of stuff. Still, out of character, how many penalties there were both ways. We have to be better than we were out there in the second half of the game.
On seeing so many defensive breakdowns in the slot over the first three games
There was a lot of chances, especially this game, and then against Buffalo as well. I couldn’t tell you right now, from all the goals throughout today, what cost it, [a lot] on the power play, obviously for them. That’s something we have to look at. On the other side, yeah, I think my feeling is that 50/50 [battles] that we lost around the bluelines and all that kind of stuff that cause 3-on-2’s, guys being open in the slot and on the wide side. We’re going to have to go back, look at it and regroup.

Jim Hiller
On how he evaluates a game when nothing when according to the script

Well, it was interesting, completely opposite of the Boston game, right? Both teams checked in Boston, and I wouldn’t say that Ottawa didn’t check tonight, but we didn’t win our checking game. That’s the bottom line for me. We didn’t have the mindset to check and it turned into a crazy game that we could have won. There was a reason that we didn’t win, though.
On the numerous defensive breakdowns in today’s game
That’s just a mindset, that’s just a mindset. There’s no video, there’s no explaining on something like that. There’s nights that you just don’t have it, another team makes good plays and not much you can do, but we were just all over the rink tonight. That just means we weren’t ready to play the type of game that was needed. It’s hard game to play. Took a lot out of us in Boston, mentally and physically, but the job is to do that every night.
On allowing four power-play goals, after starting the season 10-of-10
We’ll take time to break that down completely, but probably they came through off the entry. They did a really nice job, they’re dangerous, created good opportunities, quite a few of them, at least, off the entry. Good players made good plays but we’ll take a look at them and try to make an adjustment.
On what changed after feeling “in control” leading 4-2
Well, we were up, but I don’t think, but at any point we felt like we were in control of the game. We were pretty opportunistic to be up 4-2, so there was no real shift for me. It was just us trying to get playing the type of game that we needed to play. I don’t know that we got that for more than three or four shifts. It was penalties, power play, penalty kill, our strength is 5-on-5 and we just never got that.
