The view from Anaheim

Here’s how old friend Eric Stephens of The Orange County Register covered last night’s game, followed by a couple quotes from the Ducks’ locker room…

Exhibition: Ducks 3, Kings 1

COACH RANDY CARLYLE
(on the game…) “I like the effort and the tenacity that we showed tonight. It was a huge upgrade on where we’ve been for the first three games of the year. We were pretty good last night in Vancouver but you couldn’t really judge because we didn’t play against the same quality lineup that we did today against LA. Our guys did a lot of the little things that it takes to win in the NHL.”

ANDREW GORDON
(on his recent opportunities…) “My game is simple; it’s based around work ethic. I just have to work hard. A lot of the time you play with a couple guys who work hard like I have been and you get rewarded. I want to play every game. If they give me a couple more, I’ll play as hard as I can. Every practice and game is a chance to impress.”
