Paul Day Quotations

When you talk about the greatest, his name has to be mentioned with anybody past, present or future.

Mental mistakes absolutely, but I am happy with the effort we are getting. We work so hard, but sometimes in the fourth quarter experience takes over.

If they can pass the drug screen, they'll get work.

If it's not a sellout, it'll be close.

He's a tough individual. Sometimes you have to reel him in because you don't want him to get into the Billy Smith, Ron Hextall action but some games he's close to it.

Hopefully, they'll be thinking about their big game Saturday instead of thinking about us.

Guys were a little heated but we took some time, got some composure and decided to make him pay for that.

I think we created all night and battled all night, but we weren't finishing and our power play came up short again.

I think, to this point, he's been our most valuable player. He's played extremely well for us every night. He's really given us a chance to win every night and that's all you can ask out of any goaltender in this league, whether it's an established team or an expansion team.

I think there's still a positive vibe. I hope that people realize it's an uphill battle for an expansion team, and that it's going to take a little time.

Kyle fought all the heavyweights in the WLA this summer and he can play, too.

We are a young hungry team that will play a high-tempo game. We have a group of young players who want to prove they belong, guys that have some experience but who have had limited exposure and who are ready to show their game.

We had some positives last weekend. Even though we lost two games last weekend we're no further out of the playoff hunt than we were before. We're still in it.

We were pretty resilient and got it down to a two-goal game and then the penalty on Quinlan - it was a horse... call. I know I'll get fined by the league but I don't care. It was a terrible call by two veteran officials.

We should be 3-3 right now with the way we've competed. I think we've played better than what most people might have expected.

We are still two games out of a playoff spot.

Every time he has the ball and I'm on the other bench, I'm nervous. He's not just beating a guy one-on-one, he's making four guys on the floor that much better.

The strength of our team this year has been Paddy and he could have been the Player of the Week earlier this season if we'd have won some games.

Sometimes coaches are like elephants - we have long memories. That wasn't an honest effort from 16 guys tonight.

They said he hit the goalie, but the guy who called it was way out at the restraining line. The guy on the crease actually called it a goal, but the head referee waved it off basically from what would be the blue line (in hockey).

I personally have strong feelings about Whittier because of its architecture and the fact that Betty Friedan went there.

Calgary's a pretty good team to get your first win against. We've worked so hard and played so well some nights that eventually you're going to get some luck.

He's pretty new to the league and just being around those guys for two days is going to pay dividends.
