Brown postgame quotes
Dustin Brown’s postgame thoughts… (on not claiming home-ice advantage…) BROWN: “We could have finished fourth, and now we’ll finish seventh or eighth. But at the end of the day, we’re in the playoffs and it’s a new season. We’re going to hit the reset button and get ready to go, because now all the 82 [...]
Brown postgame quotes
Dustin Brown’s postgame thoughts… (on when the game got away…) BROWN: “We got a big goal early in the second, right after a power play, and then they came right back and scored a goal. It’s happened a lot to us this year, giving up a goal right after we score. Those are momentum goals, [...]
Brown postgame quotes
Dustin Brown’s postgame thoughts… (on not recording a shot on goal in the third period…) BROWN: “I thought we were too tentative from the start. We had a one-goal lead, and we just didn’t go after it. We kind of sat back, and when you have a team like that [Vancouver], they’re going to shove [...]
Brown postgame quotes
Dustin Brown’s postgame thoughts… (on the importance of the win…) BROWN: “I think this was an important game for us, as a team, considering everything that has happened in the last week with injuries. I thought we had the right attitude coming out. Coming into this game, that was the one thing we were concerned [...]
Kings (non-Kopitar) postgame quotes
Here’s some stuff from the locker room, from Terry Murray, Dustin Brown and Ryan Smyth, regarding the game against Colorado in general… TERRY MURRAY “The game was good. We got the two points that we wanted to get. I thought we played a good game. I liked our third period. You lose your top player [...]
Reaction to Kopitar injury
Here’s the reaction from the Kings’ locker room to the loss of Anze Kopitar to a broken ankle… DUSTIN BROWN “He’s our best player. We’ve got to find a way, either way. Injuries happen during the year. You don’t want to have your best player go down, but if that’s the case, we need to [...]
Brown leads the way, and others follow
The “three stars” of last night’s game were Dustin Brown, Patrick Marleau and Jonathan Quick. No arguments there. Brown and Marleau both had two-goal games and Quick made a handful of very tough saves and once again came through in the shootout. Brown, as noted in last night’s game story, was sharp at both ends [...]
Brown postgame quotes
Dustin Brown’s postgame thoughts… (on the game…) BROWN: “That was a roller coaster there, the last four minutes. We were up, holding a lead, we blow it, get it back and blow it again. It’s tough, but we had some good chances in overtime and took it to a shootout. I thought it was really [...]
Brown postgame quotes
Dustin Brown’s postgame thoughts… (on the game…) BROWN: “The result was about right. Quickie made, in the first period, probably about 10 saves he shouldn’t have, so it could have been a lot worse than it was. … Tonight we just didn’t show up, so you’re not going to beat any team in this league, regardless [...]
What can Brown do for Kings?
How will the season finish for Dustin Brown? He is on page for 28 goals and 57 points, which would be the second-highest totals of his seven-year career — he had 33 goals and 60 points in 2007-08 — but of late, he has bounced from first line to third line to second line, and [...]
Brown postgame quotes
Dustin Brown’s postgame thoughts… (on the Islanders’ speed…) BROWN: “They have some really fast forwards, Grabner especially. He might be one of the fastest guys in the league. They got on our D pretty good, especially early, on the power play. They pressured and we weren’t ready for it, and it resulted in a goal.” [...]
Brown postgame quotes
Dustin Brown’s postgame thoughts… (on the game…) BROWN: “We’ve been doing well in the shootouts lately, but tonight they got the win. We just have to take the point and move on to the Islanders.” (on not getting the extra point because of the shootout loss…) BROWN: “That point is a huge point for us. [...]
Will Brown be able to break out?
Dustin Brown still ranks third on the Kings in goals this season, with 18, but Brown has scored only one goal in his last 15 games. Brown was part of the latest line shuffling, as he picked up two new linemates in center Andrei Loktionov and left winger Kyle Clifford. Today, Terry Murray was asked [...]
Brown postgame quotes
Dustin Brown’s postgame thoughts… (on the game…) BROWN: “We didn’t really have a lot in the second period, offensively. I think we had two shots on net, and we kind of took our foot off the pedal. We had a good first. If we play 60 minutes tonight, we probably win this game in regulation.” [...]
Brown postgame quotes
Dustin Brown’s postgame thoughts… (on being the last player left from the 2005 Kings team that won in Calgary…) BROWN: “Yeah, I knew that coming in. I don’t know if it was my first year or the year after the lockout. I know we came up here once and won. This was a big win [...]
Brown’s hits to benefit hospital
A couple months back, in my LAKings.com feature, I took a look at Dustin Brown’s charity work, which has included donations, a park-building endeavor in Carson and a meeting with a young fan through the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Today, the Kings announced that Brown will donate $50 per hit this season to the Newborn and Infant [...]
Brown postgame quotes
Dustin Brown’s postgame thoughts… (on the game…) BROWN: “We had a lot of offensive-zone time. We were in their D zone for a lot of the game. Then it gets to a shootout, and a shootout is what it is. Backstrom makes a great save on Jack, and Bouchard makes a move and it ends [...]
Brown, Quick postgame quotes
Dustin Brown’s postgame thoughts… (on the game…) BROWN: “We’ve got to start getting results here, regardless of how good we play. I thought we did play a good game tonight, but we’ve got to find a way to win. That’s going to take everyone here. It’s not going to be one (expletive) guy. We win [...]
