Greene postgame quotes

Matt Greene’s postgame thoughts…

(on Jonathan Quick’s game…)
GREENE: “Unbelievable. He’s been lights-out for us the whole year. A game like this, coming up here when they have all the momentum, you needed a big effort out of him, just like he’s been giving us all year. Obviously he did it tonight.”

(on Quick setting a franchise playoff record for saves…)
GREENE: “Let’s hope so. [smiles] If not, that other guy deserves a real pat on the back or something. That was awesome. That’s a lot of shots, a lot of saves. He played huge for us. Like I said, he’s been doing it all year for us. It’s not a one-time thing. He’s been stealing games for us, to get us in this situation, and he did it again tonight. Obviously we want to help him out more than we did, but he was lights-out. That’s what we needed. We needed to get this back to L.A. and give ourselves a chance to kind of redeem ourselves on home ice. He was up to the task tonight, that’s for sure.”

(on whether the Kings feel they need to redeem themselves at home…)
GREENE: “Absolutely. I think the fans have done a great job coming out and supporting us. We’ve got to get a win for them. We’ve got to get a win for them, to keep this going. If we want to advance here, you’ve got to start winning on home ice. That’s obvious, especially since we’re not going to get to start off any series (at home). So we’ve got to be better on home ice, we’ve got to be better in Game 6 and come back ready to play.”
