We’d go down to the rink and work out in the morning and have lunch and talk a lot about the team, … We played a lot of golf. Tony’s and my sons were on...

He’s fitting in great. He’s been well-received by his teammates. I think the fans will like him.

With the professionalism in our room, guys are aware of these things. Everybody as a group knows we have a great challenge ahead of us. I don’t think this will be a distraction. We’re very...

I don’t think we can expect to win if we give up six.

(The injury) is definitely long term. It’s an extensive injury. I don’t want to say a year, but it’ll be a long rehab.

To say exactly when (Theodore will play), that’s a tough one. The fact that he’s out there absorbing a whole practice is a good sign.

We expected him to come in and fit in with the team and he has. We expected him to come in and help the team and he has.

I still want to give Vitaly a chance, too. It’s a healthy situation to be in.

I think we have been playing the way we’d like to and progressing the way we’d like to. It’s a big win.

Joe wanted to go. A couple guys wanted to go, and I think you need (prior) approval, and I didn’t want to risk (a penalty) at that stage of the game. I still think he’ll...

We hoped that maybe we could get a power play ourselves and get the equalizer. We got lucky.

He’s been out there skating like a dog for a month and a half now. He’s progressively grabbing the stick a little tighter and pushing the puck a little bit more.

He really went back there and did exactly what we were hoping for, where he dominated in junior and got some confidence. He looks like a complete player. We got to find out that he...

It’s been amazing some of the games we’ve been involved in, it’s never over.

Now that we have new rules and the new motivation from the league to enhance the offensive part of the game, I’m sure it’ll be fun for the players. As a coach, it’ll be challenging...

It seems like its getting tighter and tighter. Change is dramatic on a lot of nights. Our objective is not just to make the playoffs; we want to win our division.

We lost a couple of great players, no question, … But I think everybody on this team is going to have more involvement than maybe other years. I think we’re a deeper team, with four...

With Brad, we feel he’s going to provide a great element of energy and enthusiasm. We think he’s fitting in with the guys great. He’s a team guy; he’s going to be well received by...

We played a real strong game, did a lot of good things. They got a fortunate bounce and a break.

That’s the type of game we had to play last time here. They played hard.

Our preparation and the way we competed was exactly what we were hoping for. We got down early, but we kept chipping away and got back in the game.

Paul adds a top player to their lineup. They have a lot of guys with skill, but certainly he brings an added dimension with his quickness and his finish. The fact that they went out...

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...

There were a couple of times over the course of the year when we thought we were going to be playing,

Some teams you don’t get to see and some teams you only see once.

Milan, tricky player, … He upgrades the whole team.

I always viewed it as an honor and privilege to coach Al. He’s one of the guys who would do anything to win.

We’re probably looking towards the end of that deal.

I think we have to move forward. We’ve had some time here. We have a new group.

There’s something there. We like how competitive he is,

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.

We feel every game is almost a four-point game, because everybody in the West is looking to enhance their position.

We would have loved to get two points there, but they got a fortunate break and a bounce. We had those opportunities all night at their end and we couldn’t get the next one.

The way we competed was exactly what we were hoping for.

It’s not etched in stone that that’s how we’re going to start. We wanted him to experience it here and see how he handled it. That’s an option. He’s a talented kid, so the upside...

It was one of those nights when the puck was going in for us.

Chris is coming to camp with a lot to prove, … He’s healthy and he wasn’t quite right when we got him last year. He’s been fine. He got off to a good start and...

It was all good when I was there. The bottom line is, trying to win the hockey game is going to be the priority.

I thought we had a tremendous game. . . . All of the areas of our game were rock solid; the energy was real good. Every facet was in place tonight. I thought we paid...

I thought we had a tremendous game. It was a real good response to a bad performance last night. All of the areas of our game were rock-solid.

Part of the decision in making the trade was that we trusted that Peter could take us down the stretch. Every time that he has gotten an opportunity, he has risen to it, and we...

Two huge goals that allowed us to get three points.

I liked his presence out there.

I liked how (May) played,

Three of (the Kings’) goals were quick-quick, bang-bang plays. Those passes across the goalmouth, that seemed to be the play that beat us.

It really was tough to lose them,

You look at how he’s approached it and kept everybody together. They’ve definitely been dealt a tough hand, but he’s still trying to bring some meaning to coming to the rink every day for the...

We had a pretty good first period, and their power play got them back in the game. The second and third goals were huge goals for them.

The good thing about this is that it happened now, as opposed to late in the season.

Peter will start tomorrow. Jose will dress as the backup. We will take it day-by-day, but I would anticipate Jose starting on Tuesday. I thought Peter had a strong game the other night against San...
