Williams postgame quotes (Nov. 10)

Justin Williams’ postgame thoughts…

(on whether he’s surprised by the lack of scoring this season…)
WILLIAMS: “Yeah, certainly. The bulk of the season is coming up here, huge, important parts of the season here. The offensive, and certainly myself at the top of the list, should be scoring more, getting to the net. I think we had a lot of chances tonight. We didn’t quite come through. But we need to find ways, when we’re down (in) games, to come back. I felt the spirit on the ice, when we were down a couple goals. We still had the fight, and that’s a real good sign, but we need to get a comeback win, just for our psyche, to know that we can come back, for our confidence. It was a good step, getting two, but it’s obviously not good enough.’’

(on having to defend another 5-on-3 penalty kill…)
WILLIAMS: “They seem to be really common, especially with us right now. I don’t know if it has anything to do with the referees, but we’re taking some penalties where we shouldn’t This team [Vancouver] has one of the best power plays in the league, if not the best, and we gave them opportunities early. We simply can’t do that if we’re going to play smart hockey.’’
