Ron Wilson Games Quotations

Patty had one of his best games of the season.

Patty had one of his best games of the year on both sides of the puck. He was very focused throughout.

We need a complete team effort in order to beat a team like Detroit, especially here and we didn't get it. We'll just throw it away and move on to the next game. If you're going to have one of these games on the road trip, I'd sooner have it against Detroit than somebody else.

We've still got a lot of work ahead of us, but we're going into games now feeling a little bit different knowing we've gotten somewhere and we're totally in control of our own destiny.

We're a team that's pretty resilient. We showed that this year, and now, I mean, I would've loved to have won both games in Nashville. We've got to try and get a split.

We've played all these (recent) games as if they're must-win games. That being said, you can't get too caught up with the focus being two points that you forget about the process.

The best thing we can do is win all our games, then you don't even have to bother. Our focus right now has to be on Colorado, but those two games against Vancouver right now are huge as well as the game in L.A. It's the L.A. and Vancouver games that seem to have the most importance.

These games scare you. Because they're playing loose and easy as opposed to us because we're playing for a playoff spot.

It's kind of like a mustang or stallion that you have to break -- you see all this potential but it's kind of wild. I think he is still a work in progress, but he's certainly showed a lot of great signs the last five or six games he's played.
