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.
found nights score three win
Most nights we don't score more than three goals, but we've found a way to win with three.
games goal group ncaa state straight three
I know (Michigan) State hasn't scored a goal in three straight NCAA games. But this group ? they do what they need to do.
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.
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.
chances good perfect puck start time year
(We had) good chances and the puck started to go in for us. Perfect time of the year for that to start happening.
earlier hope resilient win year
Right now, you hope to find a way to win and we did. We were resilient enough to win tonight. Probably, earlier in the year we wouldn't have done that.
