Ron Wilson Patty Quotations

Patty did a great job of reading the play and jumping in when he could.

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.

Patty played a great game. He was taking the puck to the net, and he was a force. I think he got excited when he saw he was going to be on the point on the power play.

You can already see that Patty is freed up a little more. We did give up a lot to get Joe, but this is a trade that's going to give a lot of people an opportunity to shine and do things they haven't done. He's everything I thought he was.

You have defense that is struggling to create any kind of offense, so if we need a forward back there, I would never hesitate to put Patty back there. He's a smart player and you could see that tonight.

I wanted to get Patty a little more involved. I think he got excited to see he'd be on the point on the power play. He needs to be playing around 20 minutes a game. It was my fault he didn't play more the other night.
