We had lots of chances and eventually the dam broke and we ended up with a real good comeback win. We talked about not getting frustrated if didn't come easy. We didn't get off track. We stuck to the game plan.
good great last meeting met next number played rivalry sure
We've met a lot. It's a very good rivalry and I'm sure it's going to be a great game. (We've played well this year) But they had our number last year. This next meeting is the most important of all.
bounce fought good knew michigan sitting state sudden tough wishing
We knew it was going to be a tough game. Michigan State was not going to go down easily. They fought back. They're down one goal. A bounce one way and all of a sudden it's in the net, and we could be sitting here wishing Michigan State good luck.
challenge four good gotten last past played row
We have been getting good starts. The last four in a row we've played a good first, so I think we have gotten past that for the most part. I think the challenge for us is to play consistently for 60 minutes.
cloud excited feeling good hours lost north patient tournament tried
We're excited to be in the tournament and really excited to be in the east. We tried to be as patient as we could for 30-something hours and we had a good feeling we'd be in once St. Cloud lost to North Dakota.
bouncing good kept net perseverance plugging poise puck
We showed some pretty good poise there and kept plugging away. Just getting the puck to the net and bouncing the puck off somebody's stick, or whatever. It was good perseverance there.
chipping good kept looked might point run week
At that point it looked like it might be slipping away and we just kept chipping away one week at a time. Before you know it, we were on a real good run down the stretch.
best both giving good helping improve inspiring opportunity plays relationship seems strong
Right now, giving them both the opportunity to play is in the team's best interest. We will need them both to be strong all the way through. When one plays well, the other seems to play well. I have sensed a very good competitive relationship there. They are helping each other to improve and inspiring each other with their play. That's what you want, a healthy-competitive relationship.
becomes difficult eyes good net saves screens second third
Like any good goalie, it becomes more difficult to make saves if you take his eyes away on screens and get to the net on second and third shots.

Special teams was very important, it always is. It's probably the only reason why we're here, getting to the Frozen Four because we've had such good special teams. So it is a bit ironic that that cost us in this game.
fortunate good helped job team
In the end, we got that surge of momentum, which is fortunate in some ways. We did a pretty good job of team defense. Our forwards really helped our defensemen tonight, and our goalie.
good power
In the end, as good as our power play was, it was also our downfall.

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.

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.
