Ken Hitchcock Score Quotations

We're in a tough state right now. We have some real adversity. Every mistake is in our net. We can't score on the chances we get. We can't kill penalties.

We took really poor penalties. We made defending mistakes. When you don't kill them off, it's deflating. And when you don't score on your opportunities, it's even more deflating.

Those are usually a reward for hard work. Good players score those goals. Guys like you and me, the puck would end up in the seats.

When you win with a player, you feel good about that player. From the red line in, Jon is one of the hungriest players in the NHL. He'll do anything to score a goal.

They have it all. They're playing well offensively and defensively, their special teams are playing well, they have four lines that can all score and all create chances and they're playing at a very high level.

You think you're snake bit and there's a lot of doubt in your game and, when you don't score for an extended period of time, doubt creeps in. Then you get the one off their skate and it kind of sets the wheel in motion and now everybody thinks they can score.

Good players score those goals. Guys like you or I, they'd be in the stands.

You can't expect 34-year-olds to score like 26-year-olds. Those guys have other roles that are as important, but we have to get more from other people who are capable.
