Jeff Malott & Jim Hiller 10/8 Post-Game Quotes
Jeff Malott
On if he knew right away it was his goal
I had a feeling. It was so hard to tell, a bit of a traffic jam in front, but I felt something. I needed to wait for some confirmation because of last time, I think I celebrated a little bit too early. I waited all summer pretty much. I didn’t get one last year, so it’s a pretty awesome feeling with all the guys.
On the character and resilience shown in coming back to win that game
We’ve been talking this week about building the character of the team. I think that’s a big step for us. Just those games where you’re looking to find a little bit extra and that’s what we were able to do. I think that’s a big one to have early in the season for confidence.
On what was said on the bench when Vegas went up 5-3
Just sticking to the things that had been working for us. We got a great goal from Mooresie there and that gave us a lot of jam. I think you could see some momentum pick up after that. Just looking to stick with it.
Jim Hiller
On how Kings were able to come back from 5-3 down
Well, I think the goalies made some good saves at that point. We got pretty loose. You know, we were pretty tight until the power play, clearly, that was the turning point in the game and then we got loose and we were chasing it but the goalie made saves, held us, so there’s one of the reasons is he made some good saves. Then just some really nice goals. Clarkie’s goal had three people more, Mooresie’s was pretty much a solo effort, but Clarkie he Kuzmenko to Byfield and let’s drive the middle, that’s a pretty nice play.
On the importance of Trevor Moore’s shorthanded goal
Yeah, that one gave us a chance, because we’re shorthanded again too, right? So now you’re looking at the clock, you’ve got to kill the penalty, hopefully, and then you’re still down by two. That brought a lot of life onto the bench, for sure. Got us back in.
On seeing Jeff Malott score his first career NHL goal
29 years old. We talked about it in the room, 29 years old, just keeps going. You know, it doesn’t always turn out, most often times it doesn’t turn out. So, when it does, that’s the great part of sports, when somebody just sticks with it. All kinds of movies that have been shown about that type of story and so when you have one of those guys that’s on your team and such a good guy, the guys were pretty excited.
On the depth in the offensive scoring tonight throughout the lineup
I thought the fourth line, Turc’s lines clearly is the fourth line, they scored, they were dangerous, had a couple other good chances. So that’s been a real positive for us. There’s enough guys there. There might not be the 40 and 50 [goal scorers] 35 last year [for Kempe], but there’s lots of guys there that can score. I’ll be great when Juice starts scoring, I’m sure he will, and Kopi, but I’m sure until then, we’re going to be a balanced attack all year.
On what he liked better tonight than in last night’s win over Colorado
I liked our start and then they took it to us a little bit in the second period, but our start, we came off the bench, four lines, we were shooting it, the puck was going low, high, we’re shooting it, we were getting it back. It wasn’t the prettiest offense but it was the type of offense that we control games with, just by getting loose pucks, going low to high and finding the hole, jumping on the next one. We had our feet going, that allowed us to get a little bit more involved in the game, whereas last night, we didn’t have any.
On Balancing Alex Turcotte’s major against a really good game from him otherwise
Right, it’s difficult. It certainly wasn’t intentional, but you just have to understand the situation, right? They scored, he wanted to come to the bench, I said you guys get back out there, you just scored a big goal and then that happened after. For him, it’s just a matter of learning and you can’t do it, or you don’t get on the ice. He didn’t play much in the third period, killing penalties, cost himself some icetime too. I’m not mad at him, but he can’t do that.
