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.
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.
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.

There were a couple of times over the course of the year when we thought we were going to be playing,
couple elite huge line power return scoring top valuable weapon weeks
It's a huge loss. He's one of the top scorers in the game, an elite player. He's a valuable weapon on your top scoring line and on your power play. Hopefully, he's progressing well and in a couple weeks he can return and get back to doing what he does best. We still feel our power play will be a weapon.

chances couple david game gave highest kept last point quality seen
We gave up some of the highest quality chances we've seen at any point all year. David kept us in the game and gave us a chance. The last couple periods, we were way better.
couple difference finally last ratio success
We finally did what we wanted to do, and he made a big save. But we have to be better on it. We've had some five-on-threes (recently) and our success ratio is poor. It may have been the difference in the last couple of games, for sure.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
