again character counted great highs national opportunity people pill season shown throughout tough
It's really a tough pill to swallow. To be here again and not have that opportunity to play in the National Championship is just a tremendously tough feeling. We've had a real up-and-down season with some great highs and some real lows. A lot of people counted us out throughout the whole season. I think we have shown a lot of character this year.
crowd definitely
That was definitely tough. That got the crowd back into the game.
bishop defense good help hockey protect style team turning
We just have do what we have been doing all year: play our style of hockey which is good team defense turning into offense. As long as our forwards come back and help out then we are going to be alright. We just have to protect Bishop and let him see the puck.
goals job knew score
We knew they could score goals. Our job was to not let them.
control defensive explosive focus keeping key neutral pick stunt tight trying
We'll really focus on our defensive game, keeping it tight like we have been of late. And a big key for us, because they have some explosive forwards, is trying to control the neutral zone. If we can do that, that'll stunt their offense, and pick up ours.
came deep flying hit kept neutral puck quick
We came out flying and we kept on them all game. They're a real quick team, so we had to get on them, not give them any space, and clog up the neutral zone. We got the puck deep and hit their defensemen.
bit calm good opportunity
We're not too tense. We have a good feeling. This opportunity doesn't come up every day. We're a bit of the underdog. But we know what we're up against. We've got to be calm and relaxed, go out and try to do it.
chip found hard worked
We worked hard to get back in the game; we did everything we could to make it 3-2 and they found a way to chip in another goal.
cut middle quickly
I cut to the middle as quickly as I could and got off a shot.
crowd game goal
We had the crowd out of the game. With that goal they just got back in the game and the place went crazy.

We talked about it in the locker room.

Puck movement is a huge thing, especially on the power play.

And we're going to need some of the new guys to step in and contribute.

I'm very fortunate to be playing with those guys. They're great players.
