Slightly different atmosphere in the locker room after this game than the last one. This time, the players were actually there. I don't remember the last time I saw Dustin Brown sitting at his locker after a game.
Crawford and the players talked yesterday about erasing Tuesday's game from their memory, but it was obvious they didn't. They came out using those bad feelings to spark them to probably their best first period of the season. Not only did they strike first for the first time in nine games but they lit the goal up four times.
``That was what we were looking for, a strong start and to play with some passion and play within the structure,’’ Anze Kopitar said. ``That’s one thing we’ve got to try every game, to come out of the gate like that.’’
