excellent game hockey last played playing tight type
This was an excellent hockey game. We played a tight game defensively and really have been playing the type of hockey we need to over the last month.
couple fighting fights-and-fighting last months talking thinking wins
We're fighting for a first-round bye so that's the only thing we're kind of thinking about, talking about ? just as we've done over the last couple of months is just try to put wins on the board.
group last played seniors team wished year
This team is completely the new one. Last year's team was the end of the carryover. I think the group of seniors last year wished they had played for Ron.
couple darn fashion games growth injuries last missed responding
He's missed so much time. The darn injuries the last couple years have really slowed his growth down, and now he's getting games in consecutive fashion and I think he's responding very well to that.
last tremendous
The crowd's been tremendous over this last stretch.
goal last type year
The goal that Fretter scored was the type of goal he got last year that he hasn't been able to get this year.
honest last lose playing sweat three whereas win
It's great, to be honest with you. The last three years down here, we've had to just kind of sweat it out. What's going to happen? Lose the first game, do you have to win the second? Whereas now, you're playing for two championships, in essence.
five four game goals hang took
I thought we could have had four or five (goals) in the first but you don't. You let them hang around and then they took the game away in the second.
beat michigan played playing quality team
I thought we played really well. You don't beat a quality team like Michigan without playing very, very well.
certainly game goals gone maybe puck three
I thought that was a game we could have gone up by certainly at least two, maybe three (goals). But we couldn't get the puck in the net.
attack dangerous
I think we were more dangerous on the attack and we had the better speed. It's very encouraging.
pressure takes
I think it takes a lot of pressure off of this team.
block effort great hip hit
Jared made a great effort to block that first shot, it just hit his hip and went in.
confidence critical goes good jeff played saves
Jeff had to come up with some pretty good saves at some pretty critical times. We played very well. Very solid. We got the first goal, and that's so big in these games. Confidence goes way up.
