On the challenges presented by Nashville:
“They’re a hard working team. We didn’t match their compete [level] in the first, and that was ultimately the difference in the game. It’s similar to the Anaheim game. We have to get to another level as a group. It starts with individual preparation.”
On Nashville’s success in keeping Los Angeles to the perimeter:
“I think that’s their M.O. as a team. Again, that comes back to competing and willing to be a bulldog in the dirty areas and driving the net. There were instances of that, but it really needs to happen on a consistent basis, especially against a team like this.”
