They are special players. They have great stick skills, but will learn early how quick the game is and how strong the opposing players are.

I don't see why we're going to change. At this point in time, I think we're going to stay with the same rotation we've had all season long.

That opened some eyes and a sense of urgency took over. I don't think I'd define this as a great team, because we can still struggle at times, but we've improved quite a bit.
anybody gets great loose offensive puck reasons ryan time valuable
He is as competitive as anybody on our team. He gets to pucks very quickly. He's got great grit. That's one of the reasons he's so valuable in the offensive zone. Any time there is a loose puck and Ryan is in the area, you know he's going to come up with it.

We wanted to create some good bounces for ourselves, and yet not only do they get the first goal, but two of the first three goals went off us. Those are difficult things to swallow, especially when you're trying as hard as this team has been.

anytime difficult eliminated fought great hard move ourselves position prolong second seen team throughout
We fought very hard to put ourselves in position to get the second seed, and to not be able to move on and prolong our postseason play is disappointing. Anytime you're eliminated before you want to, it's difficult. But with this team, it's especially difficult considering some of the great play we've seen from this team throughout the year.

We struggled this weekend. We didn't play with any effort or emotion last night and Princeton took advantage. Tonight, we had better effort but our confidence and execution wasn't good enough.

We never recovered after Minnesota's fast start. Our guys battled in the final period, but it was too late. We're a resilient group and we'll bounce back.

We worked hard to create opportunities, then when we had opportunities, we quit working. The result is not a shock as much as the performance is a shock.

We will make a thorough search. It won't take six months. It won't take the entire summer. It will be quicker than that.
