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 we did on special teams was the difference tonight.

His last start, he was excellent in Phoenix. He got us on this stretch where we stabilized our game and came back from probably our worst game of the year in San Jose.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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'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 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 win.

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.
