 Post-game Chatter

186237429_slideCoach Michel Therrien:

  • “You have to give a lot of credit to that team. I thought [the Kings] really played a solid game. There’s some stuff we would take from them. But for us, we did a lot of good things lately and we have to put that one behind (us) and make sure that we’re going to come back with the right attitude.”
  • “It’s disappointing. We’re all disappointed. That’s for sure especially in front of our fans. We did a lot of good things lately and we’re going to put that one behind and make sure that we’re going to come back with a good effort next time.”
