This kid looks like a real player. He does a lot of things. I’m sure he’ll be fun to watch. He’s got a little bit of Lehtinen in him, and he looks like he might...

With the new rules, the puck carrier is going to have more leverage to do what he wants, … Having puck possession is obviously a great way to play the game. If you don’t have...

If you’re Peter, you’re sitting there and you want to get a chance to get in the net and you want more responsibility. Peter’s handled the situation well. He’s being patient and ready to go.

That was definitely a strange game. We had a couple of games where we had the three-goal lead and let it get away from us earlier in the year. I liked the way we battled...

I thought the story of the game tonight was how well he played, especially on the three glorious opportunities they had in the third off of turnovers deep. It was nice to see him respond...

Overall it wasn’t a very good effort and performance by us. I thought David gave us a chance. . . . He played fine, did a nice job.

It was good to see him, talk with him and get a better assessment of his foot. He’s a tough goalie. He’s made big saves, he’s very athletic, he’s quick and overall he’s in tune...

We talk periodically when we play and sometimes between games. We’ve been familiar with one another for a while.

He’s one of those guys who has a quick stick, a hot stick. It was a special night for him.

Milan’s such a big offensive player for our team, so guys will have to assume some of that responsibility,

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 –...

The opportunity is definitely there. Somebody’s got to seize it.

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.

He’s played well and he’ll enhance their team game. With the big ice surface (and with) the way he moves the puck, he’ll be a nice element on their defense.

We’ll just wait and see how it progresses this week. To say when (he will return), it’s too early to tell. We need to get him on the ice and give him some . ....

The guys we count on have definitely come through.

I think you saw that there’s something still to the rivalry.

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...

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.

(Pulling a goalie) is something you don’t like doing. In the last game it worked, and tonight, it didn’t.

Those were the real reasons why we won the game. Abby (made) a couple of big saves early on the penalty kills and (we) basically played that whole third period short-handed. We killed several big...

Sometimes you still want to reach back and grab the guy who took the puck away. It shouldn’t be a habit anymore, but it’s still a guy’s natural instinct. Overall, I like the way the...

We were looking to get something out of tonight s game and we got it done.

It was a terrible ending,

We’ve got a lot of veterans in place, a lot of guys signed to NHL contracts. But we love surprises and we anticipate having a few. We’re going to give everybody that excels the opportunity...

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.

Over the last three months, that constant, ‘We’ve got to get in, we have to win, it’s the biggest game of the year’ . . . maybe there’s a little sense of relief. But there’s...

We have a great group of guys and they’re aware that these things happen in the game. Our goal is to get in the playoffs and win championships; that’s our focus. The anxiety of the...

I can’t tell you his status. I know it comes with an extensive rehab.

They kept coming. The pace and the excitement made the two games against them probably the two best games of the year.

But we won’t be talking too much once we start the series.

I thought we were all right in the first part of the game like we were the other night, and then we got involved in a rush game and we weren’t getting the upper edge,

It’s early in the preseason, and it was the ideal time for Milan to do this,

He looked solid, in control, he’s following the puck and he looks big in the net.

We’re coming off two critical months. November and December, as far as the volume of games and a lot of real busy stretches in those months – this month looks like each and every game...

The games that we’ve lost back to back, every one of them has been a tight game, with some one-goal losses in some tough buildings. I think (Sunday) we deserved what we got.

Peter certainly has enhanced his position in camp.

If I really wanted to say what I thought right now it wouldn’t be good. That kept them in the game. I thought we had a strong first period and that changed when … it...

When the game’s been on the line, Jose has been real solid. He’s been effective and he’s doing what he needs to do. As we progress, we expect him to keep getting better.

We have some guys we’re going to see play for the first time and I’m looking forward to seeing what they can do.

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.

Everybody talked about it. I guess it wasn’t a goal. We caught a break. We have had a couple against us this year, too.

I’m expecting big things from him. He certainly could be one of the top scorers, if not the top scorer (in the league), the way he’s prepared himself.

This is the third camp we’ve prepared for since last September, … We got ready at the start of the (2004-05) year, and thought we might be coming back last February, so we prepared for...

That’s a team that does a lot of things right and they’re having a real strong year.

We feel we missed out on a golden opportunity with a couple of our major adversaries in Detroit and Colorado getting bounced at the same time. We had some tough situations to deal with at...

They tried to clarify the standard that’s going to be in place. There could be 25, 30 power plays initially in games. But players are pretty smart and they’ll adapt quickly. There’ll be a constant...

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.

Nashville made big strides the last couple years,

We’ve really enhanced our position in the last week. It’s better than hanging onto that eighth or ninth position. Now, we’re looking at taking the division. It’s a realistic objective.
