Emotionally our tank wasn't full yesterday. But we rebounded today with a lot of energy, a lot of jump and I thought we did a good job of shutting things down defensively. Bobby made a couple of saves when he had to and I thought we were strong throughout our whole lineup. |
He was outstanding tonight, but I thought both goalies were. |
I take it he has a little confidence again going back into the playoffs. Whatever people were writing about him, you can get a different pen out now. |
I thought he was pretty darn good tonight. We tested him. |
In the WCHA, if your power play's not going to score, you're not going to win. |
It just turned out to be a game for the ages. |
It was a different game for us tonight. We got a lead and scored three goals in the first period. I don't know when was the last time that happened. |
It's frustrating because we were right there, and if we made the tournament I really think we could've done some damage. |
It's huge, just huge, and it's been our deal all year. When we get balanced scoring, well anyone's going to be a better team, but it's been the key for us finding more wins over the last couple months. |
Our guys just battle every night. They've battled so hard all year long...this is just a tremendous group to be around. This really turned out to be a game for the ages. |
That (pass) was a great play. You guys have been following me with Hooton, and I just can't explain it. He just can't get points. I've never seen anything like it and I can't figure it out because he doesn't have a lot of flaws. He's got great hands, shoots well and competes his tail off, but he's just got a way of avoiding points. |
That wore our crew down. |
They wore us down. They just wore us down physically. Our defensemen were just pooped at the end. |
Three glaring mistakes cost us the three goals. You're going to make mistakes in a hockey game. They made some, and we couldn't get by Elliott. |
We all see one of those once a year, once every five years. |
