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.
areas aspect attention detail game pay practice struggled talk time work year
We pay attention to detail. Each and every aspect of the game - we talk about it, we practice it. I thought we struggled early, but it is another one of those areas we work at. It?s detail at this time of year that?s important.
coming hard improved knew shots worked wrist
We worked so hard to get here, and we improved so much. I knew coming in they were going to try to do it with wrist shots and tips. Unfortunately, they went in.
good proud team worked
This team has worked their tails off and I'm proud of them. They feel good right now and they should.
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.
beat bit ohio win work
It's a big win obviously. Ohio State's a little bit beat up team, but I thought they're strong. They work hard.
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.
