Kopitar postgame quotes

Anze Kopitar’s postgame thoughts…

(on Williams’ injury…)
KOPITAR: “It’s pretty frustrating to see a guy go down like that. It’s tough, but we definitely cannot take that as an excuse. We’ve got to battle through everything right now.”

(on the game…)
KOPITAR: “As bad as we played in the first two periods, we were still only one behind. We tied it up, but then it was the same story again. We just make it too hard on ourselves, with our turnovers and not-strong plays at the blue line, getting pucks in deep. They came back and scored on us.”

(on whether he saw how Williams got hurt…)
KOPITAR: “No, I didn’t. I don’t even know if it was me or Jovanovski. We got tangled up and we went down. I kind of skated away. At first, he didn’t seem hurt at all to me, so I skated away. Then I looked back and he was laying there and, as soon as I got down there to him, I knew it wasn’t good at all, because he was pretty mad and pretty frustrated.”
