early ideal milan time
It's early in the preseason, and it was the ideal time for Milan to do this,
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.
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.
achieved biggest eight games huge seven time win year
I think we've had about seven or eight games all year long that have been for first place. It's the first time we've achieved it. A huge win. Probably . . . not probably - it was our biggest win of the year.
enjoy game good levels maintain opportunity stage time
I think it's a good opportunity (to rest), but we don't want them doing nothing. We want them to maintain what the conditioning levels are at this stage of the game. But it's a good time to get away from the game a little bit, too, and enjoy your family.
anybody dangerous good selection time
He's been real good. He's dangerous every time he has the puck. When he does have it, his play selection is as good as anybody in the game.
great ice minutes next presence time
He could see more ice time in the next little while. His minutes have fluctuated on a game-to-game basis. But I think he's got a presence offensively, and he's got some great ability.
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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
boards consistency intensity jumping shift tough tremendous year
That's a tough loss. He's had such a tremendous year with that consistency and jumping over the boards every shift with his intensity and emotion.
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.
