On what the Canadiens did well to limit Los Angeles’ ability to set up its attack:
I think they got us from behind quite a bit turning pucks over. Some of our faster players weren’t on their game tonight. That’s a really good hockey club, That’s a four-line-deep team. It’s pretty obvious why they’re now 9-0 at home. The combined score going into tonight’s game was 28-11, which meant every game was 4-1. That’s what tonight’s score was, too. So we’re probably saying the same thing that eight other teams said, unless they beat somebody twice already.
On whether he’s happy he doesn’t have to face Carey Price more than twice a year:
Carey Price is a star. That’s not really a question. Do you like playing against star players? We do it lots out west. Everybody’s got star players out there, too.
On whether teams try to do too much against goalies of that caliber:
No, not at all. We’re not the type of team that has. We scored seven goals last game. I said after the game one was enough. We should’ve saved five.
On taking aspects from Thursday’s third period into Friday:
We’re on a tough road trip. We try and take every game into the next. You’re not really doing anything other than that. I just think you need to be able to go deep on your bench, and we just couldn’t do that tonight.
