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.
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.
fairly played playing recently strong team
We've played them fairly recently and know what they are. They're a big, strong team that is physical, and their goalie, Wylie Rogers, is playing outstanding.
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.
played plays
He's played really well. As long as he plays well, I'll probably go with him.
good hands impressive knew miss penalties played power taking
CC was a very impressive team. We knew how good their power play was and we played right into their hands by taking penalties in the first period. We showed some frustration, but they really executed. If you give them 5-on-3s, they're not going to miss very much.
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.
coming good knew played power
We knew coming in how good their power play was. And obviously, we played right into their game.
jump kids played settled
They got the jump on us, and then I thought our kids settled down and played great.
catch faster fear good great knew panic pass played situation stick vision worry
I never thought he played out of panic or fear or worry because he always knew he could go faster (and) catch somebody. He had such great vision and good skills. He'd pass it over a stick, under a stick ? he just could do anything the situation called for.
defend great played speed tough
It's a tough loss. We played a great first period, but their speed is tough to defend against.
game played work
If there hadn't been an injury, they probably would have played every game together. I like the way they work off each other.
best gotten guys hockey hot peak played reached score team
I still think we can score more. We've got guys that haven't gotten hot yet. We haven't played our best hockey yet. I don't think we've reached our peak as a team by any means.
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.
