both glad national perspective playing putting ring trade trophy
Just putting everything in perspective, I think both of us are just glad we're playing in the national championship game. I think we'd trade that trophy for a ring any day.
blood gets guys heart means realize release saying script seeing taking trophy true won
I don't think the true release has actually come. We won a game, but we don't even realize what we just did. This means so much to everybody; you just can't put it into words. Just saying it right now gets into your blood and your heart pumping. Seeing that trophy with those guys out there taking pictures, you couldn't write a better script for an ending.

I think we have a lot left to give.

Our guys were blocking a lot of shots and that was happening all over the ice and that was the key to our success.

We were walking downtown this morning and people were giving us high fives on the street. A lot of people are watching us and supporting us.
apply feels learned lessons lose past point taught
We didn't apply those lessons that we should have learned in the past. It's just another point to look at to say this is how it feels to lose and if you don't apply the things you're taught and the things you learn before the game, you're not going to play how you want to.

We want to prove that we're not the team that we just showed. I hope that's with everybody on our team. If we use that attitude the rest of the season, I think we'll have success.

Andy is just a phenomenal leader. Andy is a very strong doubles player. He's got a strong serve. He's got great hands at the net.
confident feeling felt good reacting start
The whole start of the year, I felt really good and really confident on my feet. It's a good feeling when you get back to that same feeling on the ice. You're not second-guessing your moves, you're just reacting to the shot. That's the way you've got to play and that's the way you have success.
goal happened score wrapped
They score their first goal when we're still wrapped up with what happened with Mac.
