calming time
Any time you have goaltending like that, it has a calming effect.
green hockey host knew level people pull support wonderful
I'd like to host one someday. It's a wonderful event. I think they knew the level of support they would get from the people of Green Bay, and to be able to pull something like this off and put hockey at the forefront, for a day at least, is great.
energy guys halfway ran third three
I thought halfway through the third we just ran out of gas. Even our energy guys were tired. We were down to three regulars on defense.
beginning good knows player talked year
They got good goaltending tonight. He made the saves, and everyone knows they can score. We talked about it at the beginning of the year that they are one player away and they got it tonight.
coach dress
Just dress the coach warm, that's all I've got to say.
difference hit late net puck won
From what I hear, the net was off. That was the difference in the game, that controversial goal. We had opportunities to score, we hit the post, we won draws, but the puck just didn't go in for us late in the game.
conference fit game great looked luckily michigan move national position publicity schedule state teams ten willing
Well it looked like they really wanted to get two Big Ten teams together. Michigan couldn't fit it in the schedule and luckily Michigan State was willing to move our conference game to Thursday. To play in a game of this magnitude, the publicity you get on a national scale, it's just a great position to be in.
depend found guys legs until
We had to depend on our goaltender until the guys found their legs tonight.
demands follow game guys leaders team
We're not the same team we were the first game of the year. Some guys who thought they could follow now have to lead. There are different demands on them. We need 20 leaders on the ice.
came compliment effort figure good great guys hockey lost minutes obviously time win worked
We worked for 58 minutes and it was obviously a great effort, but we lost the hockey game. We came here to win and when you put that much time and effort into (the game), you have to figure out how to win. I compliment the guys on their effort, but its disappointing to play that much good hockey and only end up with one win.
