Drew Doughty’s postgame thoughts…
(on the game…)
DOUGHTY: “We didn’t show up to play, and that’s why we lost the game. The first two periods, we weren’t too solid. It wasn’t like we were playing that bad. We just let them have three easy goals. We can’t have that. We talk, and watch video on our D zone all the time, and when we make little mistakes like that, it’s tough and we’ve got to learn from it.”
(on the flurry of action late in the game…)
DOUGHTY: “We were pretty determined there at the end. It was good that we were able to put all that pressure on. If we got a couple bounces that they got, we would have got a goal there and tied it up. It’s too bad we couldn’t have taken it to overtime.”
(on not scoring on the two-minute 5-on-3…)
DOUGHTY: “It was a pretty key moment in the game, with us, all of us on the 5-on-3, not capitalizing on it. That’s pretty disappointing to us on the power play, but we just have to learn from it as well. Next time we’ve got to capitalize on it for sure.”
