Anze Kopitar to @LAKings Fans:
"Hard to keep it together [during the chants]. Being here 20 years, more than half my life, it's extremely special. It's been home for 20 years. I really appreciate the fans, they've been behind me. I can truly say they're 1 of the best fanbases."
Trevor Moore on Anze Kopitar's leadership -
"The culture he brought, no-nonsense, be a pro when you come to the rink. You play the game the right way. If you cheat, it's unacceptable because Kopi never cheats. I think the culture he brought here has been really special."
Adrian Kempe on Anze Kopitar -
"He's been there my entire career, so I want to thank him for everything he's done. It's going to be different, his leadership, everything he's done for the organization. Other guys, myself, have to step up & do the things he's done for this team."
