""All of the games have been close, we keep saying we're right there, but I think we just have to give a little more," Quinton Byfield said. "They are the best team in the league for a reason, but as I said, we're right there, we know that, we're confident in our group, and it's just one game at a time now.""
"The effort to shut down the Avalanche has been there, and defensively, there's not much more you could ask for from a team that is so clearly not on the same level."
"For the Avalanche to just be scraping by is saying something about the kind of performance the Kings have delivered so far, but sometimes, it's just a matter of accepting the fact that the Avalanche are just too good in too many areas."
"The Kings have to play mistake-free hockey for a full 60 minutes to even have a chance at beating the Avalanche, and then on top of that have to find a way to force the Avalanche into mistakes."
The Los Angeles Kings find themselves down three games to none in the first round against the Colorado Avalanche. Despite being the consensus best team in the NHL, the Kings have played competitively in all three games, showcasing their defensive strength and effort. Quinton Byfield emphasized the team's confidence and the need to improve. The Kings must play mistake-free hockey for a full 60 minutes and force the Avalanche into errors to have a chance at winning.
