O'Sullivan critiques himself

| | Comments (0) |

Here's what Patrick O'Sullivan had to say about his first game back...

``It felt like I hadn't played a game in four or five months, but felt better as the game went on. I'm glad to get that first game out of the way and live past the fact that I missed training camp. There's definitely some positives and I have a lot to improve upon, but it's definitely something I can develop.''

O'Sullivan talks about the disappointment of having two goals disallowed and his impressions of how the Kings can improve on offense...

``You know, they were against the rules, so at the end of the day that doesn't matter. We had some good chances. I think we have to continue to get traffic at the net and stuff like that. They're going to start going in the net. We have too good of players for it not to, but we need guys going to the net and getting traffic and getting more shots on net, getting pucks to the net. I think we were much improved defensively tonight. I'm not going to say that we weren't thinking about offense as much, but we definitely needed to clean up some things from last night. Goals are going to come. We just need a little bit more urgency around the net, but we're not worried about that, I don't think.''
