Warren Foegele
On what happened in the final 40 after a strong first period
We had a great start, Juice’s line gets one first shift and puts us in a good position and I thought for the remainder of the first period, we were playing aggressive, on our toes. In the second, we kind of got away from that. It felt like we were honestly respecting their top guys so much that we kind of got away from doing what we do best as well. We’ve got to be aware when they’re out there, but at the same time, we’ve got to do what we do to be successful. That’s getting pucks on net, checking hard and playing more aggressive.
On if it felt like a snowball of momentum once Colorado got going
Honestly, it wasn’t for Darce in that second period, it could have been much uglier. When you’re constantly playing defense, it wears on you, right? So, we want to do that to other teams to try to wear them out and we just didn’t do that for the whole game.
On what he felt like the group could have done more of, to get back on track
Probably just keep it simpler. I think a bunch of us, including myself, are maybe passing too much, getting pucks on net creates chaos, it creates rebounds. I don’t know in the second period how many shots we had, maybe one or two, it didn’t seem like a lot, so kind of going back to the fundamentals and just keeping it simple.
On a positive from tonight being the performance of the PK unit
That’s a hard power play over there, so credit to the group, everyone’s digging in doing their job. The penalty kill, power play special teams is a big part of the game. So, like you said, that’s a positive, but we’ll go home and regroup.

On the contrast between the first period and the final 40 minutes
They pushed and we didn’t do a very good job of handling that. I thought, for whatever reasons, once we got into the second period, we had a really tough time connecting on passes, turning pucks over because we just couldn’t get ourselves out of the d-zone. Then, the 29-line spent some time in our end and we had a tough time with it.
On if he felt the Kings showed their big players too much respect at times
I think they’ve earned some respect, those guys. We just had to play them harder, make them play in their own end and that’s what we did in the first period. That line ended up playing in their own zone a little bit. They were probably weren’t very happy with that, they came and pushed and when they put the five guys out there, it’s pretty tough to contain them. You’ve got to do a really good job, you can’t turn pucks over, you have to break out clean. To give yourself a chance, you’ve got to make them spend some time in their own time in their own zone and we didn’t do that in the second half of the game.
On if it felt like Colorado momentum snowballed to where the Kings couldn’t get back on track
Yeah, I mean clearly. In the second period, we had no shots on that, Kevin had his breakaway, we had a couple other opportunities to put it on the net and couldn’t do it. They hemmed us in pretty good.
On the performance of the penalty kill against a top opposing power play
The first period was really good. I thought that gave us a boost actually, because we did such a good job, we were on our toes and we continued that 5-on-5. Just couldn’t get any momentum after that.
