Ron Wilson Point Quotations

We desperately need the space. Our high school, especially, is severely crowded at this point and has been for years. We've known this for a long time.

He's going to play a lot more on the point because we need somebody back there who is willing to take charge and make hard plays, hard snappy passes. And I thought he did a really good job. It's going to take time to get other people comfortable in the other positions, but I'm going to stick with it.

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.

We got the upper hand quick, they did a lot of complaining and the next thing you know, we have five penalties in a row against us and it threw us off our rhythm. From that point on, you never knew what was going to be a penalty.

There comes a point where we have to have some people step up and play as well as they can and make sure that their teammates aren't trying to do too much. And you have to respect people around you. That's a lack of trust if you don't think other people can do the job that you try to do too much.

There comes a point when we have to have some people step up and play as well as you can. That's a lack of trust if you're trying to do too much. If one guy tries to play 1-on-1 hockey, that's telling your teammates they aren't good enough.

We had the puck on our stick and didn't get it out of the zone. And when something like that happens at this point of the season it's inexcusable.

Toward the end we were running out of gas but we got a point so I'm not disappointed. I'm not going to view this as a loss.

At this point in the season, that is inexcusable.

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.

The young guys with the way they're competing, they're really hungry, and that's what you need at this point in the season. Not guys who are afraid to fail, but guys that go out there and compete really hard.

I just said, 'Why aren't you guys calling the right stuff?' And that was enough to get a penalty. Some of the calls were very questionable, at best. It was a very frustrating night from that point of view, but we can't control what the referees decide to call.
