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.
control destiny playing teams
You always like to control your own destiny and we do that by playing teams that we need to beat.
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.
came diminish excitement knowing ncaa playing
We came in here knowing we were in the NCAA Tournament. But it doesn't diminish our excitement about playing for a championship.
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.
fact period playing proudest team third tough
I'm proudest of the fact that this team doesn't quit. To come back when you're down two in the third period when they're playing that well, that's tough to do.
playing
He's really playing well. He stabilized us (when we were struggling).
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.
almost deal grueling physically playing step taken
Not only have we been through it mentally, but we're much better off physically because we have almost everyone. It's grueling for sure, but it is what it is and you have to find a way to deal with it. We're playing well, and I think we've taken a big step as a team.
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.
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.
