chances confidence couple early found games last left matter saw time until
You saw a couple of chances early that didn't go in, but I don't think Joe's confidence left him over the last 10 games when he's had a lot of chances. It was just a matter of time until he found the back of the net.
area coming confidence milan nice number production saw scoring
He's been the Milan we saw for a number of years. He's recaptured that confidence in the scoring area and it's nice to see that production coming from him.
certainly plays power throughout tough
It's always tough to lose, and certainly the way it went down there. We had so many power plays throughout the game, and you know they're going to get their turn.
behind bench coaching game good great love special
It's great to be back, I love it here in St. Louis. It was a special day. It's good to be back behind the bench coaching a game here.
brought chance coach excited good guys loss
It was a big loss and (leaves) a big void. I was excited about getting the chance to coach these guys again, but this is where we're at, and we feel good about the guys we brought in.
example goal great handed knowing minutes opportunity power swing
It was an opportune goal for them, knowing we had a great opportunity to go up with 4 minutes (on the power play). A short- handed goal is usually a big swing in the game, and (Sunday night) was a great example of that.
coming couple days denver guys time welcome
They could be coming back in to Denver any time now. They are welcome to come back before (Monday), but a lot of those guys could use a couple days off.
across effort last leadership team total year
We went through this last year with Prongs. We have to have leadership across the board. We will need a total team effort to get through this.
definitely hurry work year
A whole year without hockey, without work . . . it definitely was something different. Now I know what retirement's going to be like, not that I'm in any hurry to get there.
against game perfect type win
That type of team, we've got to play a perfect game against to win and we didn't.
course individual maybe mix shake spark whether
Sometimes with a line, whether it's with an individual or you just want to shake things up and maybe get a spark somewhere; sometimes we mix it up in the course of a game.
bottom game good hockey line trying win
It was all good when I was there. The bottom line is, trying to win the hockey game is going to be the priority.
balance couple penalty
The short-handed 5-on-3 was big. It was on the balance all the game, and we had a couple of big penalty kills.
assume guys offensive player
Milan's such a big offensive player for our team, so guys will have to assume some of that responsibility,
