Johnson postgame quotes

Jack Johnson’s postgame thoughts…

(on what the Kings need to improve…)
JOHNSON: “Try to keep them from scoring six goals a game. They’ve scored 12 goals in two games. That’s embarrassing. We have to pack up, get to San Jose and go there to win a hockey game. Our backs are against a wall. They’re a tough team to play, and right now they’re playing with a lot of confidence. But we should be a tough team to play against, because there’s no tomorrow for us. If we lose, it’s the season, so we have to go there to win a hockey game and expect nothing else.”

(on the loss…)
JOHNSON: “It’s terrible, but in playoffs when a game’s over you start the next game with a clean slate. That’s just the way it is, win or lose. Each game is a new game and a new beginning. There’s no momentum carried over because each game means so much.  You start clean each game. We’re going to go there and try to win a game and come home and try to win another game and get this to Game 7.”

(on the need for improvement…)
JOHNSON: “Stop them from scoring six goals a game. We’re not going to win a game if they score six goals a game. It’s the just the way it is. We’ve had success in scoring goals in the series fortunately, but we’re not an offensive team, we’re a defensive team, and if we’re letting in that many goals we’re in a lot of trouble. We can’t let them score.”
