Doughty postgame quotes (June 4)

Drew Doughty’s postgame thoughts…

DOUGHTY: “I don’t think we’re too surprised. We know we have a great team in there. Before this game, it easily could have been two-nothing for them. It was a tight series, but at the same time, we’re really confident with the team we’ve got in here. Now it’s just about resetting, refocusing. Even though we’ve got one more to win, we’ve got to look at it as if we’ve got four more.’’

DOUGHTY: “That first period, killing off that 5-on-3, was huge. It gave us a huge momentum boost. Those guys did a great job blocking shots, and it just lifted all of our spirits on the bench. I thought, from there on out, we were a lot better team.’’

DOUGHTY: “There’s no doubt that it’s a great position to be in, but at the same time, even though we’re saying that, we’ve got to reset, refocus. We can’t take anything for granted. It could have been two-nothing for them, before this game. If they win that next one, then all they’ve got to do is win three more. They have the momentum if they win the next one, so we want to finish it off at home in front of our home fans. Like I said, we’ll just reset and refocus.’’
