good power
In the end, as good as our power play was, it was also our downfall.
coaches great guys heads hold left proud run
I just told the guys as coaches we were very, very proud of what they accomplished this year. They need to hold their heads up. They left it all out on the ice. We had a great run this year.
coach common exact impact program successful type wherever
His impact on Wisconsin's program is very significant. He's had the exact same type of impact on our program. And he's been the common denominator right through (former) coach (Shawn) Walsh and myself. ... He's been successful wherever he's been, and that's not an accident. You don't get here so many times by mistake.
exciting honestly jump moments momentum reasons swing tied
I honestly think we would've tied it up. We had so much momentum, so much jump at that point. That is one of the reasons it's such an exciting game. Momentum can swing so dramatically at a moments notice.

He's just been a great teacher for us. I think that's the first and foremost thing, that he's a great teacher, especially one-on-one with the players. It just seems like he has an endless supply of those thoughts on the game.
ben bishop challenge coming consistent defensive effort extremely fabulous forth four good great guys last league played points proud puck stops strong three tonight tougher weekend
I am proud of the way the guys played tonight in a challenging situation. We feel good about coming out of the weekend with four points in the league standings. It was a tougher challenge than last night, but we were able to put forth a consistent effort all three periods. Ben Bishop was fabulous tonight and really strong in net. He made some great defensive stops and also played the puck extremely well.

If he wasn't nervous, I'd be surprised. I thought he was great, especially given that it was only his second collegiate game.

That's probably the only reason we're here in the Frozen Four, because we had such good special teams. So it's a bit ironic that that cost us in this game.

That's our objective right now. They have both played well. We'd like to do that as often as we can.
knew road won
That's not why we lost. We've won on the road before. It is a factor, but we knew what we were up against.
college consistent difficult example good moments run team together
It's very difficult to put a consistent run together in college hockey, and I think we're a good example of that. We've had our moments but at the same time, we're very beatable as well. I think a team like BU is a good example.
built chipping good kept run season slip
They weren't going to let the season slip away. They kept chipping away, they built some momentum, and before you know it, we were on a real good run down the stretch.
determination group left seniors
There was a real determination from that group of seniors that was left behind, so to speak, to do something special.

It's gonna be a dangerous weekend. On paper it looks like we're the heavy favorites but they've been playing their best hockey down the stretch.
