Bob Hamley Game Quotations

We only play Calgary three times, so every game will be crucial for us. The experts say it's Calgary and Arizona in the west, so, obviously, it's a very important game early.

It seems like when a team plays the night before in back-to-back games that they're even better on the second night.

We've talked about what we have to do to be in the upper echelon in the West, and beating Calgary is one of those things. We haven't completed 60 minutes in a game and we need to get four full quarters in.

I told the guys that we couldn't win in the first five minutes, but we could certainly lose it. This group deserves to be in the playoffs and to be in a game for all the marbles.

We're very excited. There is a little bit of animosity, a little rivalry between Calgary and Arizona because of the amount of times we've played during the season and obviously what happened in the playoffs. So, we're excited for the challenge. It's still early in the season and to have a game like this early on is great for our team.

Dan is such a big body and he's learning the game so well.

We didn't play very well in our last home game (against Colorado), so we really have to pick it up this week. We had one of our best games of the year in Philadelphia last week, so hopefully that momentum carries over.
