O'Sullivan postgame quotes

Here are some postgame quotes from Patrick O'Sullivan, from the TV interview he did with Bob and Jim. O'Sullivan was named the first star for tonight's game.

(on the strong third-period play...)
O'SULLIVAN: ``That was our goal, to not really change the way we were playing and to keep going at them. We played a good entire 60 minutes tonight.''

(on his penalty-shot goal...)
O'SULLIVAN: ``That's kind of what I do in the shootouts, usually. I try to make a couple quick moves and see if the goalie will move first, and then go from there. That time, the blocker side was open.''

(on his penalty-shot strategy...)
O'SULLIVAN: ``It's totally dependent on who's in the net. I've had some good success thus far in my career on shootouts, and it depends on the goalie and which way the goalie catches and that. I try to come in on the same angle every time and make my move right around the hash marks.''

(on Kopitar's goal...)
O'SULLIVAN ``Kopi and Fro and myself were feeling it tonight, I think. We were making the short little plays. For me, those guys are so big and draw so much attention, it opens up more room for myself. All three of us are able to make quick plays, and it resulted in two goals tonight.''

(on whether the Kings are thinking about the playoffs...)
O'SULLIVAN: ``Yeah, I think a little bit. Obviously, this time of year that's going to come up. We've talked about playoffs since day one of the season. There's not a single guy in our dressing room or our organization who believes that we don't have a chance to get in. We're playing very consistent hockey right now, and if we continue to do that, we're going to give ourselves a chance every night, and that's all we can ask for.''
