Doughty postgame quotes

Drew Doughty’s postgame thoughts…

(on Willie Mitchell’s goal…)
DOUGHTY: “It was huge. I guess you could say he’s more of a defensive defenseman, but he has a big shot. When he gets it off, and when he has the time and space to let it go, I don’t think too many goalies are going to stop it. It’s that hard. He played a good game today, overall, and it was a huge win for us.”

(on holding the lead after Mitchell’s goal…)
DOUGHTY: “I thought we maybe struggled for the first 10 or so minutes with that, and then after that we kind of locked it down. They had a few good opportunities in the second, but besides that I thought Quicker played really well, obviously, and came up with some big saves. I thought overall, defensively, our team did a good job of locking it down with that 3-2 lead.”

(on the tight Western Conference…)
DOUGHTY: “Every two points is just so important. I think I finally figured out to not even look at the standings. If you don’t win, there’s not even any point in looking at it, because you’re not going to move up. We’ve just got to continue to keep doing this, treat every game like it’s a playoff game. If we win 95 percent of the games from here on out, I think we’ll have a good spot in the playoffs.”
