CHICAGO, ILLINOIS: Game Two
Chicago – 4
Los Angeles – 2
THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.
Q. How soon before the game did you have to make the decision on Mike after warmup?
COACH SUTTER: Right after warmup. He was fine today, then I think just once his blood got pumping tonight, the adrenaline got going, there were symptoms. I went in right after warmup, he was sitting there and I said, Unless you're 100%, you're not playing.
Q. How big a hole does that put in your lineup?
COACH SUTTER: Quite honestly, knew he wasn't playing. I said, Jeff, you're playing center. Tyler, you go up and play right wing. Really didn't affect that line at all.
Obviously, it's a big hole. Same thing we talked about last year. Different spot in the center. At the same time I thought we handled that part really well.
Q. Do you have any expectations about whether he could come back?
COACH SUTTER: I don't really know. Literally I talked to him for a minute before the game. I didn't feel, and he didn't feel, he should play either.
Q. Robyn had to get stitched up as well?
COACH SUTTER: Yeah.
Q. What part of the game didn't your team handle well?
COACH SUTTER: I thought we played all right. You know what, we gave them some wide‑open opportunities that they scored on. One is a forecheck right away early in the game. We didn't make the play in the wall we could have made. Then the goal at the end of the first was a read play.
Q. Was that a mercy hook for Jonathan or do you feel there were things he wasn't doing?
COACH SUTTER: No, no, I think we play five games in the next 10 days.
Q. How much do you think the back‑to‑back games affected Quick, or did it?
COACH SUTTER: I don't think at all. I think it's no different than it would affect him than any other player. I don't think that should be an issue.
Quite honestly, I didn't notice that as an issue for either team, back‑to‑back.
