came christmas contribute guys hard step worked
We came back after Christmas and the guys worked so hard to get better. It's encouraging when different guys step in and contribute each night.
enjoy step tastes
This tastes really good, but it's one more step in the process. We're going to enjoy this.
allowed close guy mind steps
He (the referee) told me that he's allowed to play it when he steps off the bench. In his mind, he thought the guy was close enough.
afraid forward perfect scenario step
He's not afraid to step forward and get it done, and it's a perfect scenario for us.
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.
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.
control destiny playing teams
You always like to control your own destiny and we do that by playing teams that we need to beat.
