The Herald has a compilation of its own: http://calgaryherald.com/sports/hock...hs-best-quotes
Some good ones:
Quote:

On rash of injuries: “Last week we were commenting on how lucky we were. We were touching wood. I guess it must have been fake wood.”
|
Quote:
|
On the win in Philadelphia: “First period, I don’t think we had a turnover. Second period, I thought we were running a bakery.”

Why not join the site, join the discussion, THEN write about it?

We are the pukes, my friend.
We get the quotes from the media, not the other way around!
Or do you source the question to the reporter who asked it, that inspired the Hartley response when posting it here? Haha

The media has been talking about his awesome quotes all season. Are we really so arrogant to think only we noticed his awesome quotes.
Maybe the media would be more active here if people didn't call them pukes

Especially since they were the ones he was saying them too and they were the ones commenting about how great Harley's quotes were.
Our idea!

Yeah, pretty sure the writer took 'em off the wire like anyone else. Or maybe was there for a bunch.

Bob Hartley's gift of gab: A season's worth of Flames coach's best quotes:
http://calgaryherald.com/sports/hock...hs-best-quotes
Some of my favourites from that article.
Quote:
|
On Josh Jooris: “Fifty pounds of dynamite in his body. He’s buzzing. There’s sparks in his eyes.”
|
Quote:
|
On scratching Dennis Wideman, team’s highest-paid player: “I’m not a banker, I’m a coach.”
|
Quote:
|
On Lance Bouma: “If I was a player and my coach said, ‘You’re going to go in front of Chara. You’re going to go in front of Byfuglien,’ I’d probably double my life insurance. For Booms, that’s no problem. There’s no flamingos in the Bouma family, that’s for sure.”
|
Quote:
|
On Michel Therrien: “He’s an awful fisherman. I went fishing to the Queen Charlotte Islands with him. Scared to death and we ran out of gas in the middle of the ocean. I was the captain and he was not very happy with me … all week we were fishing he was saying, ‘What the hell are we doing?’ There were whales swimming around us and he was like, ‘I just hate it.’ Then we ran out of gas, and it didn’t get better.”
|
I love this one. It explains a lot.
Quote:
|
“One of my (junior) owners once told me, ‘I’m going to give you a Ferrari. Wreck it. Scratch it. Roll it over. Do anything to finish first. Don’t bring me back a Ferrari that’s spotless after the season. I learned a very valuable lesson. He said, ‘If you wreck it, we’ll get a new one. But don’t tell me that you saved the Ferrari so that it looked shiny.’ I really learned from this. That has basically been my coaching motto since then.”
|
Brilliant. Just. Brilliant.

Bob Hartley, in a tribute to his players, says no one comes to the Saddledome to see him aside from his wife.

And the great quotes of the season has already started. From the 960 this morning on having a three goalie tandem during practices:
Quote:

The extra always gets in the way. It's like having a fridge in the middle of the kitchen.

Hahaha, I actually laughed out loud at that one. I had forgotten about Hartley quotes as they got lost in our success. Stupid success!

"Oh my gosh. I go to restaurants, I go to the grocery store, I go to Dairy Queen and people keep asking me what the pairings are gonna be."
- Asked about the buzz around Dougie

Somthing interesting about what Dougie said in that interview, fits with what the rumours people were saying about him not being very vocal and a quiet guy in the locker room.
"I really don't think you need to say much, its more just trying to fit in and do the right things."

How does he not have an endorsement deal with Dairy Queen at this point? Also, how is he not 300 pounds with all the time he apparently spends at DQ?

There are such better options than DQ, their ice cream tastes like half shredded ice half paint thinner.
