Kopitar postgame quotes

Anze Kopitar’s postgame thoughts…

(on scoring goals in three consecutive games…)
KOPITAR: “I’ve been cold for too long before, so it’s nice to get a couple goals here, and hopefully I can continue producing like that.”

(on Marco Sturm being claimed this morning…
KOPITAR: “It’s tough. It’s one of those things where Marco wasn’t here for a long time, but it seems he got along with everybody in such a short time, so it’s tough to see him go. But, at the end of the day, it’s a business and you’ve got to do what you’re told and he got picked up and there’s not a lot we can do about it.”

(on adjusting to the late lineup change…)
KOPITAR: “We came down here and saw the lineup on the board and that was it. I’ve played with Richie and Simmer, not too long ago, so it wasn’t too hard. I think they know what my skills are and I know what their skills are, so it’s not that big of a secret.”

(on giving up the three late goals…
KOPITAR: “That’s definitely not the way you want to finish the game, but at the end of the day we got two points. I’m sure we’re going to correct that. The coaches are going to address that in the next game, and I’m pretty sure that when the Red Wings come to town, we’ll be a little different. We just have to stay sharp throughout 60 minutes, not just 50. We’ve got to make it a 60-minute game.”
