NHL WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS: KINGS v COYOTES


May 17, 2012


Willie Mitchell


LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Game Three

THE MODERATOR:  Questions for Willie Mitchell.

Q.  (No microphone.)
WILLIE MITCHELL:  It's difficult.  There can only be so many bosses in the room, right (smiling)?  Sometimes when you're hearing it from every which direction, it's tough to absorb.  Sometimes as a teammate and peer, doesn't matter whether you're 35 or 22, it's good to be a good teammate, vent, let him work through that with the coaching staff.
Like I said, it's a fine line because you don't want to take away who he is.  Like I said, who he is is a guy who loves the game, has fun being at the rink, wants to make a difference, wants the puck on his stick in that defining moment.  That enthusiasm and love for the game is what makes him a special player.
You don't want to make him so by the book, this is how you got to be, that it takes all his creativity away as a player.  I think he's doing a good job, starting to find that balance of being prepared as a player, but also not taking away from what makes him a special player.
