I think it's beyond the means of most homeowners.
defending finals five guys nationals satisfied seemed
I was disappointed about the way we wrestled today. We had five guys in the finals and didn't get it done. We seemed to be satisfied with qualifying for nationals and not defending our title.

We presented the position that we thought was justified in this case.
beer might people perception straight truck
I think some people might have the perception that I jumped straight off the beer truck to qualifying school. In actuality, it wasn't like that at all.

They've been pretty good about it, and have been very supportive of one another. I know all three want to play and all three are capable of playing ... we'll try to decide who best fits us against St. Lawrence. We're confident in all three.

It's a credit to our players and a credit to the players that have been here in the past. ... It's a nice piece of hardware to have, but the prize at the end of the journey is bigger than that.
bit bullet eight five fortunate gives goal hit matter minutes period points post seven sort storm survived team third three twice
It (was) just a matter of each team sort of weathering the storm at different points in the game, ... We were fortunate with about seven or eight minutes to go in the third period they hit the post twice or three times in one shift. So we sort of survived a bullet there and were able to get that goal under five minutes and it gives you a little bit of momentum.
came capitalize close ends game games hard last meaning month next night played playoff puck score teams third tight trying weekend whatever
In the first game, the puck went in real quick. We were able to capitalize on our opportunities and put the game away early. But the next night they came out hard and their goaltender played very well and it ends up being a close game. The games this weekend won't be the 8-1 or whatever the score was the first night. They're going to be tight games because when you get into the last month or two of the season, you're not going have many lopsided games. Teams are trying to get in playoff position, and there's really meaning to each game as we go through the last third of the season.
