Big F$&*in Q
-My daughter Erin said to me today something about, "Players going to play play play play play and I'm gonna shake, shake it off"
"Any questions?"
*woman bursts in and yells: Paul Maclean I ******** love you. You are the ******* best"*
-Paul responds: "That's not my daughter".
-Media: "Wow."
-Again, thank you, I'll leave!
-No regrets. Did the best I could.
-Coaching with what I had, trying to get them to play. Believed in the players, the level of skill, the level of work ethic, total belief that we were competitive. Weren't an elite team, working to be one, but certainly felt we were competitive.
(response to "scared comment" about going out in the playoffs)
-Thought we'd lost 4 games in a row (Pittsburgh), thought we hadn't lost our sense of humour. No extra pressure on myself than I do every day - to get ready for June. If that took people by offence, I'll apologize for that.
-Am I pissed off? No. I had a great opportunity here. You have to win. You have to win games. You coach with what you have, you have to win games. It's a result-oriented business. If you don't, you get shown the door. I didn't expect anything more or less.
-I thought my door was open all the time. Communication is a two-way street. I was always available to listen. Listening is one of my strengths. I think I was willing to hear. We didn't win enough games.
(advice to Cameron)
-I wouldn't give him any advice. He's a big boy, he knows the players, he doesn't need my help.
(what are you going to do now?)
-That's not any of your business now, I'll keep that to myself.
-When something like this happens, a lot of people have reached out, which is nice to happen. Unfortunate that it happens under these circumstances.
-This time of year? The lockout - 2 years ago, hasn't been that long ago. I don't know, you think I'm any good at it? At this point in time, I'm just gonna...I have no plans.
-Thank you.
