Paul Mara Quotations

Growing up here, it was a lot different. You go out and see desert and mountains. When I first arrived there, I didn't think I would like it, but being out there for almost four years, it's incredible. The living is great.

Getting big, physical and muscle-bound isn't the way to go. Everyone needs to be flexible. They need to be fast.

He was on his back. I don't think he ever saw where the puck was. He just made a swat at it. That's why he's one of the premiere players in the league. He makes plays like that.

He was on his back and I don't even think he saw where the puck was and he took a swipe at it. That's why he is one of the premier players in the league.

It seems like every single night there's 10 or 12 minors called against us. The reason why? We don't know. Is it because we're taking lazy penalties or is there a different reason? We can't explain it. I don't think anyone knows on this team. . . . We hope we're not being targeted for reasons unknown.

It's a big loss for us on the ice and off the ice. He's obviously a fantastic player on the ice, and in the locker room he's an awesome person to have around. Some players are going to have to step up in his absence. Hopefully, somebody will.

It's a pretty low period right now. We had two fantastic games versus Buffalo and Toronto, and to come down tonight with that type of performance is unexplainable.

It's an adjustment period. I think between the players, the refs and the coaches, the rules are a little bit hazy right now.

He played fantastic for us tonight, its too bad we couldn't close it out for him in the third.
