Kopitar postgame quotes (March 8)

Anze Kopitar’s postgame thoughts…

(on the game…)
KOPITAR: “Our start wasn’t very good. Once they got off to a lead, it’s catch-up hockey. That’s always tough, no matter who you’re playing.’’

(on facing the Blue Jackets, who are playing well and have nothing to lose…) 
KOPITAR: “Definitely. A couple years back, we were in that same position, where we pretty much played for fun. Nothing is on the line for them, but you definitely can’t discredit them. They still have a solid team and they outplayed us tonight. There’s no excuse to it. We just have to get the job done.’’
