Johnson postgame quotes

Here is the transcript of Jack Johnson’s postgame interview on FSN…

(on his shootout goal…)
JOHNSON: “I have a couple moves that I kind of keep in the back of my head. Fortunately by shooting third, I got to scout the goalie a little bit. I figured that it didn’t work the first time, so I was hoping it wouldn’t fail the second time. … I had somewhat of an idea of what I wanted to do, but shooting third, you have time to scout the goaltender a little bit, based on what he did against the first two shooters. I see how far out he was on me, as I was coming in, and how quickly he was backing up, but I kind of had an idea, shooting third. … I just noticed that the first two guys who shot didn’t have success, so I kind of had an idea that I wanted to deke him. I came in with a lot of speed. That’s pretty much what I was thinking.”

(on playing with Drew Doughty, for the first time, in overtime…)
JOHNSON: “It was great. I think he and I play really well together and I enjoy playing with him. I think there’s a lot of chemistry to be there in the future. Right now, we’re both really happy with our partners, but we’re thinking that sometime down the line, we’d definitely love to play with each other.”

(on this being a successful road trip…)
JOHNSON: “Absolutely. This is what we needed and this is what we’re starting to expect, coming into games. We’ve got great goaltending. We’ve got pretty balanced scoring coming up, and the Kings come into games now expecting to win.”
