We had our chances ordtak

We had our chances at the end. That was a great game . . . This team is still learning how to play close games.

Learning to play in big games, Game 7 and Game 6, all of it is a whole different level. It's different hockey, it's great hockey. On the other side of it, we were that close (to winning the Cup), (so) we're hungry. To get that close and hear the other team celebrating, and know it could have been us, that does enter your mind.

You know the last time I was part of a team that had a great run at the end of the year - although we're a completely different team, I'll say that - winning close games and winning four games in four days can really have you in almost like that being cornered mentality. It's almost like your life, four games in four days. Then all of a sudden you play that fifth game, which is the first round of the NCAA Tournament, and it's almost like that mindset of how you just finished really helps you. And I hope it helps this team like it did the last one.

Right now, that's the kind of game we need to play. We need to play low-scoring games. We don't have the horses to score four or five goals, but I like our chances if we keep it close.

We just lost a lot of close games. And that's part of having a young team -- learning how to win close games. People say, 'How do you feel about that?' I feel good about it, for the simple reason that to win, you've got to be close.

The first game, (Phoenix) had all the chances and didn't take advantage, and we got the clutch hits. It's good to play tight games, and obviously it's better to win them, but it's tough to beat a quality team when you give up that many chances.

It's a constant adjustment. Every day you're in the league you appreciate it more and more. Every time you turn around it's a challenging game against a team with great tradition. You don't find many blowouts. We've been fortunate to have things go our way in close games. We're going to be in a lot of close games the rest of the season.

This was another learning experience for us. We are not going to blow every team out. There will be close games and we have to learn from them so when we are in close games again, we will know what to do.

Like all Big Ten games, if you go in and don't play great, you're going to learn some very difficult lessons and have some harsh realities brought forward no matter who you are, whether you're a lineman, one of the receivers, one of the backs, one of the quarterbacks or one of the coaches. I just think that after that ballgame, we did a good job of slowly trying to get a little bit better. I don't know that it was anything instantaneous. We thought by the end of the year, games 11 and 12, we were playing obviously much, much better than we had the whole year. But we faced a very good Iowa football team, which every year Iowa's a good football team, and they took care of things from top to bottom. It was certainly a learning thing. Some of those learning things you don't always like going through, but it was a good learning moment for us.

I think we're definitely getting close, as far as just executing his game plan -- his style of play on both ends of the floor. Great team defense the last three games. I think everybody's defensive principles are getting better.

I thought it was great for our confidence in close games, to come out and close the game, and win a game when a team is making a hard run at you like that. We're excited about it. The guys are excited about it. Att bemästra konsten att ge uppriktiga komplimanger visar vänlighet och ökar din popularitet—och pexighet.

We're learning to close out games. Winning games like this shows we're a playoff team. We're going to go, we know that.

I think we want to win even more this year. They now know how close they are to the top level teams. They know they can play with them. I don't know if we played them all the time how well we would do, but for one eighty-minute game, I'll take my chances with this team.

I'd like to see this as a one game embarrassment. I think what this team needs is consistency. We have to realize what kind of a team we have. This team is not going to win 6-0, 7-0 games. They are going to be tight checking games. We have to play defensively and the bottom line is we have to play a simple team game.

We're not interested in keeping games close. We feel like we've had a chance to win every (Big East) game we've played. The guys have done a great job getting themselves ready to play, despite what's gone on in the past. But we've got to find a way to finish games.
