bench camera everybody goal knew obviously percent replay
Obviously the goal was in, but the replay camera is probably the only one that you couldn't really 100 percent conclusively tell it was in. Everybody on the bench knew it was in right away.
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.
beat goals love obviously people score seven six
Obviously we'd love to score six or seven goals but we don't do that. You're not going to beat people easy.
game jam log mindset obviously tough
It's a log jam and obviously every game is very important. The mindset is so important because every game is going to be tough to win.
feels means obviously program proud rich
It means a lot. It's a proud program with a rich, rich tradition. Obviously it feels good.
coming experience game hopefully jump knew learning next obviously settle team
They're obviously a battle-tested team and we knew coming into here that they're a big-game program. Their experience I thought was a factor. They got the jump on us before we could settle down. This was a learning game for us and hopefully we can take it to the next level.
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.
front jeff left might net save
Jeff had to come up with a big save early, when we left the front of the net open. If they get up 1-0, it might be a different result.
