He’s skating but I can’t say he’s real close. We’ll continue to go on that four to six weeks, and hopefully we can see him before the break.

I think he looks good in net. I think he’s working on his timing each and every day and feels better physically, feels better in his timing and how he’s moving … Sunday is a...

He’s been stable and gives us a chance to win on a daily basis. That’s something we’ve been lacking here for the last two or three years.

Brisebois is going to be useful in a number of areas, and the power play is one of them. He has been in the league a long time, and we know that offensively he can...

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.

I thought it was a special goal knowing how important it was at that stage of the game. The game was going to go down to the wire and they were playing really well there....

I didn’t think we played well at all. We struggled to get something going. Peter played great. He was our best player tonight for sure. We’ve got a lot of confidence in him and we...

It was one of those nights. A lot of goals went in for both teams. Every chance seemed to go in. Eleven goals is a lot of goals.

I think he’s playing as well as he ever has.

I think Abby will be fine, … He had one game where he said he wasn’t his best, but certainly there was a message there for everybody as an organization that we definitely picked up...

I wouldn’t read into that at all. I think we’re very comfortable with the goaltending situation. I think both guys have played well throughout, and we expect the same going forward.

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.

We still have to determine if we’re going to have 22 guys or 23 guys (on the roster). We’ve got a lot of defensemen in camp who have played in the NHL.

I think what we’re seeing here is what was on display in the world championships last year. His performance created interest in the eyes of a couple of people in the organization.

Mentally, I think his overall approach is terrific. I think he’s got great composure for a young kid. He’s relaxed. He’s not cocky. He’s composed. He’s got a real businesslike approach to his profession. At...

I think it’s a good situation that he’s around the guys and giving us a closer idea when he’ll be able to play.

The games get tougher every game. Closing out a team is the toughest. It is the toughest challenge you can face.

We expect it to get challenging,

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 played...

I think with Al there was always this thought that he was just a slapshot. (But) he controlled the defensive zone, he was able to control the pace of the game, and he had the...

Obviously we have had a lot of momentum and things are going well. We weren’t good enough tonight and we’ve got to be better.

I think you get rewarded when you do a lot of things right.

This was like the Calgary game all over again – a brilliant comeback and we fell short.

That was the plan, yeah. He had some work this morning and I think it was an opportunity for us to get his feet wet, get him back in it. It’s been a while since...

He’s playing as well as he has in his career. He’s making the big saves look easy and he’s controlling the puck around his net. There haven’t been many goals that we think he should...

I thought we were pretty good and smart about it and aware of it.

We’re seeing him shoot a little bit more in that slot area. It’s nice knowing he will shoot and can shoot a little bit more.

We’ve stubbed our foot two nights in a row.

We certainly were resilient to get back into the game, but I didn’t like the ending.

He was against the odds as a player, a small guy in a big guy’s game, and he left it out on the rink every night. That’s the same way he approached the coaching profession...

It’s tough when you don’t need a lot of goals to win and don’t. But we did get three out of four points this weekend, and we’re tied for first place.

The tradition of the Avalanche organization of winning and playing so well in the playoffs is what it’s all about. The standards that are in place are something that we’ve got to strive to achieve.

As of right now, we get to watch him and get into that a bit later, around nine or 10 (games).

I liked out chances going (into the shootout). Peter had an outstanding game and got us a point. The shootout, it was fun to see one that was meaningful, but Peter was the story.

It’s always great to see some of your friends and some of the people you were with for a lot of years. It’s a special game and a special day, but we’re just trying to...

I thought we played hard and got ourselves back in the game. We stayed with it to the end.

He has shown great upside and we were impressed with both his performance and his progress. I am convinced that this was a very positive learning experience for him and he definitely has a bright...

He’s been very confident. He really matured last year in Hershey. Game to game, he was outstanding and very consistent, patient. He’s got great work habits. His developmental growth gives him a chance to make...

That’s tough to measure. I know you have (Olympians) staying sharp (during the break), and then not getting the rest. There’s probably a fine line in saying who’s got the advantage. Let’s play and find...

That’s not the recipe for success. We were lucky both games. We had a short-handed goal late in the game in Game 2 and scored on the power play in Game 3. Being down a...

He looks a little more comfortable each and every day. He’s progressed well and gotten to know the culture. I think it’s helped his game.

The end was not really indicative of the game tonight and I would like to focus on what we did during the game. Our special teams had a lot of good things happen. Certainly what...

He’s had a tremendous year, I’ll tell you,

It’s one day at a time.

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

He could be a real nice fit for our team because you can use him in a variety of ways. The opportunity is there for him. He’s got some NHL experience, and he played well...

We just thought it was a good time to put (Theodore) in the lineup to make him a part of the game. I wanted to change the momentum of the game and get his feet...

He’s moving well, and he’s finding the puck. And outside of his net, he’s working with his [defense] well. He’s definitely healthy and you can see the way he’s in control.

I think (Laperriere) gets noticed with how well he can check, but I think, offensively, he’s got some ability to make plays,

That type of team, we’ve got to play a perfect game against to win and we didn’t.
