Anze Kopitar’s postgame thoughts…
(on the game…)
KOPITAR: “It’s one of those games where everybody had a big part. Obviously, Quicker back there was amazing for us yet again. That certainly helps. We haven’t played a whole lot of one-goal games as of late, so this one definitely feels good, to see that we can pull it together.”
(on whether he was surprised about the physical play…)
KOPITAR: “Just looking at their lineup before the game, no, but after that things got emotional. I think everyone was into it and everyone was fired up, so it’s no surprise after that.”
(on the low-scoring game…)
KOPITAR: “That’s one of the things, when you play a team like Tampa, with all that firepower, you’ve got to focus on a really good checking game, and I thought we did a pretty good job tonight. They didn’t get a whole lot of high-quality scoring chances, so that’s definitely satisfying. Maybe next time we should score a few more goals, so it’s not as close, but two points is two points, and we’ll take it.”
