Phillip Danault & Adrian Kempe (video) 12/30/23 Post-Game Quotes:
Phillip Danault
On his assessment of tonight’s game
Yeah, we had a good start. I think, again, they got their momentum on the power play, as usual, but 5-on-5, I thought we had the best out of it. They just fuel it with the power play, so we’ve got to limit our penalties.
On what he liked most about the way the team played during the first period
In the first, we played our game, we played with pace, I think 5-on-5, we’re the better team and that’s how we can win that game. Like I said, we’ve got to limit those penalties and those two guys, they create something from nothing, they’re dangerous the whole time.
On the penalty-killing performance tonight against a strong PP unit
Yeah, we had some good kills there, it gave us a chance to get one point. That 3-on-5 was huge and it was definitely a big kill.
On a playoff-type atmosphere in tonight’s game
Yeah, actually it was fun to play that game. I’m looking forward to the next game. It was playoff-type.
