A few quick comments from Coach Terry Murray following the Kings practice today at Toyota Sports Center in El Segundo, Ca…
MM: Given Willie Mitchell‘s injury situation last year, were you holding your breath a little when he was engaged in the fight with Steve Downie?
TM: No. It didn’t even cross my mind. All I looked at it as was a teammate jumping in there and playing for a teammate in a situation that was…well, it’s what we like to see. But, I wasn’t thinking of anything else.
Regarding Kyle Clifford, was there anything you liked or didn’t like about his game last night?
There’s nothing about his game I don’t like. If I didn’t like his game, as a 19-year old he wouldn’t be in the line-up. It would be time for him to go somewhere else and play if that were the case. We like his game. We like his presence, his physical play. I thought his reads of the system last night were really good. He was very involved in the game. He only played seven minutes. But, at the end of the day, I noticed him as a contributor to our win.
