Los Angeles Kings forward Phillip Danault spoke with the media following his team's seven-game loss to the Edmonton Oilers.
On the hockey front, Danault was very happy with his season.
"On the ice, I exceeded my goals. I'm very proud of that. I knew I had offensive skills and I needed someone to believe in me. [...] I proved to myself and the world that I could score goals and make a difference every night."
Danault, 29, sent a clear message to his former team:
"Everything they promised me happened here. They trusted me and I showed what I could do. They used me in different situations compared to Montreal (which didn't give the chance to produce more on offense). I really enjoyed that and that's what I wanted when I signed here. They lived up to what they told me last summer."
Danault even identified the differences between Montreal and Los Angeles:
"It's quieter and I can breathe a little better here. In Montreal, there's a lot more pressure. All the little mistakes or details are underlined."
Regarding Marc Bergevin and his arrival in Los Angeles:
"This is the business of hockey. What happened in the past is in the past. I'm sure he's happy here and must have a lot less pressure. We all know Montreal is a tougher market."
