battle feeling game good hard hit lose obviously soon tie wrong
Good tip, wrong end, wrong time. As soon as it hit my stick, you just get that feeling where it's not good. Just more frustration. You battle hard to tie it up. Obviously a big game for us. To lose it that way, that's the game, I guess.
call greatest living time
I call it a celebration. I mean, that's how I feel. It's been the greatest time in my life. I've been living my dream.
fun halfway hit morning ready realized
It really hit me this morning, in the morning skate, when I was getting myself ready to play. Halfway through, I realized it was my last. ... It was really fun to play this one.
amazing certainly cherish fun great happen memories nights special top win
It's certainly something I'll cherish forever. It was an amazing night. Nights like this are always fun when you win on top of it. I wanted it to happen earlier, but it was special to do it at home. I have so many great memories here.
guys owe team
I told (a team executive), 'You guys owe me big on this one. That's a lot of freakin' jerseys.
believe everybody leave people seen stayed time traffic
This is L.A., and people usually leave early, but everybody was still there. I can't believe they stayed all the way to the end like that, with the traffic in L.A. It was the first time I've seen that, and it was very overwhelming.
amazing bunch chances deep enjoyed felt game happy knew last nervous scoring special wish
It was a lot of fun. I do wish I would have scored on that shot, but it was a very special night. It was amazing how nervous I was at the beginning. I don't think I ever felt that way, but I knew down deep it was my last game here. I had a bunch of scoring chances and I enjoyed it. I'm real happy we won. What a way to go out.
crowd falling feeling felt goal good great guy knew mike pass puck reaction stayed sticks
It was a great pass over two sticks by Mike Weaver. I got the puck on a breakaway, I felt the guy falling and I knew I had a good shot. I think the goalie was surprised, and he stayed deep. It was a great feeling because it put us up by a goal at the time. And then the reaction from the crowd and my teammates, it was overwhelming. What a moment.
believe best kings players team treats whoever
It's whoever makes the best decisions, character-wise, and the team that treats its players the best that's going to win. It's not about overspending anymore. That's why I believe (the Kings can win).
comeback few games hard last means trying ways
The last few games we've been working hard trying to find ways to win. This was a big comeback for us, and it means a lot for our team.
afford games rest
You can't afford to make costly mistakes. The games are going to get tighter and tighter the rest of the year.
