Williams off-day quotes (June 7)

Justin Williams

(on his reflections on Game 4…)
WILLIAMS: “Elimination games, I don’t know, the teams you play against are there for a reason. It’s not supposed to be a sweep all the time. You’re not supposed to win every game. That’s when their character comes out, when their backs are against the wall. They played a great game, battled hard. We just didn’t quite have enough.”

(on the Game 4 positives for the Kings…)
WILLIAMS: “Well, what I liked is our power play moved around pretty good. We had ample opportunities to score and get ourselves a lead. We weren’t able to do it. The power play’s going well. On the other side of it, I don’t think we were as good as we could be in the neutral zone, defending the rush. We’re going to get better at those.”

(on whether it helps to be already comfortable with Prudential Center…)
WILLIAMS: “I don’t think so. I think we just play every road game the way we have throughout the season here, throughout the playoffs. We just don’t let any distractions bother us. We go in, we play our game. We know the Prudential Center’s going to be rocking, just like when we had to go back to Phoenix and play Game 5, go back to Vancouver and play Game 5. The arenas are going to be rocking and we’ll have to be ready for them.”
