Matt Greene’s postgame thoughts…
(on the Kings’ defensive effort…)
GREENE: “I think we did a good job of keeping them to the outside and not giving them too many rebounds. That was maybe not the most exciting game, but it works, and that’s what we’ve got to do here if we want to be successful going down the road. There’s going to be some boring hockey, but it’s going to be successful. So I think it was a good game for us in that regard.”
(on bringing the “road mentality” to home games…)
GREENE: “Right now, just bring whatever mentality. Whatever we’ve got working for us now, let’s just keep doing it and keep winning games. I don’t care if it’s the road, home or neutral site.’
(on limiting Gaborik’s chances…)
GREENE: “I think Dewey and Scuds did a good job of shutting him down. They’re really turning into a great shutdown pair. It’s amazing, too, with a guy like Doughty. To be able to not only shut down the other’s teams forwards, and to get chances on your own, that’s exactly what you want. That’s exactly what you need out of your top pairing of D-men, is eliminating their chances and creating your own, and he’s doing that for us right now. Speaking for myself, I’m really happy with him.”
