block effort great hip hit
Jared made a great effort to block that first shot, it just hit his hip and went in.
last tremendous
The crowd's been tremendous over this last stretch.
finding team
If there?s on thing that characterizes this team it?s finding a way to win.
earlier hope resilient win year
Right now, you hope to find a way to win and we did. We were resilient enough to win tonight. Probably, earlier in the year we wouldn't have done that.
obviously relieved sure
Obviously I was relieved to see it go in. He (Fretter) was sick, and we weren't sure if he was going to play.
ability best compete good matter practice talents warrior whether
His ability to compete is his best talent, and his talents are good ? they're really good. He's just got a warrior mentality, and he does it every day. He's one of those really, really good players, and it doesn't matter to him whether it's practice or a game.
calling cheap hitting marginal philosophy sure
I'm not sure it was a cheap shot. It was marginal hitting from behind, and you can tell by the philosophy that he (the referee) had that he wasn't calling very much.
created defensive drew family happy identity magnitude nobody numbers program talk
The magnitude that this family has had on this program ... well, you could talk about them every day. I'm so happy for Drew because he's created his own identity here. His (offensive) numbers are growing, and as a defensive forward, there's nobody better.
consistent far kept line together
They are really, really good. They are by far the most consistent line we have and the only one that I have kept together all season.

I really like the way we fought back after that first goal. There was no panic whatsoever and I just think they had a feeling the puck was going to go in.
pressure takes
I think it takes a lot of pressure off of this team.
expectation faces happy nature schools smiles ten
I think the nature of Big Ten schools (is) they're not happy just to have programs. You put smiles on people's faces by winning. And the expectation is you do it the right way.
certainly delay momentum reviewing took
That would have been a big one. The long delay in reviewing it certainly took the momentum away.
finish goal home ice
Getting home ice was a preseason goal and we've accomplished it, and now our goal is to finish second.
