Postgame quotes (2/16)

KINGS COACH TERRY MURRAY:
(Re game recap): “Coming back from being down three goals, you have to be happy with that. There are two different games out there tonight. The start, we’re down when they score on a 5-on-3. They score on the next play at the net on the power play and it’s 3-0. They score on the second shift of the game, just over a minute into the game, so we’re down 3-0 and it’s a big hole that we’re in, like the last two games, but there was a lot of dig-in to come back and tie it up.”

(Re a challenging upcoming schedule): “The next game we have Anaheim, but you can’t overwhelm yourself by looking at the remaining part of the schedule; that’s too hard. There are a lot of road games there, but the next game at Anaheim we have to regroup and come out with the right kind of effort to get the two points. That’s the way the schedule is and we have to go play it.”

KINGS CENTER ANZE KOPITAR:
(Re game recap): “This time of the year, you want to get two points, not just one. Maybe we’re fortunate enough to get one but that’s not enough. I mean, like I said, to give up six goals at home, it’s hard and it definitely shouldn’t happen. The Thrashers came out strong and the last couple of games we stayed flat-footed, but they came out strong and ready to play and we simply weren’t ready. The next game we need to make sure we are ready from the get-go. It’s a mental thing to be ready when the puck drops, and I hope we can do that to be ready.”
