"We didn't compete, their best players were their best players. We didn't compete, so this is on everybody. Everybody."

"The start? Come on. We had one player show up and play. Darnell Nurse was our best player by a mile. He was one of the most competitive players on the ice and that's all we had.

"When you have one player that competes at a high level in a game like this, it can't be acceptable. There's been too much of this going on in the first 41 games. We win one and then we take our foot off the gas, and that's exactly what we did."

-Ken Hitchcock, head coach of the Edmonton Oiler after a 4-0 loss to the LA Kings last night.
