He's really playing well. He stabilized us (when we were struggling). |
His ability to compete is his best talent, and his talents are good ? they're really good. He's just got a warrior mentality, and he does it every day. He's one of those really, really good players, and it doesn't matter to him whether it's practice or a game. |
I didn't know anything about it until I walked in the locker room one day, and I saw a stick in the garbage. I was going to take it out. Then I was notified that they're there for a reason. |
I don't know what our missed games are, but we must lead the country in games missed due to injury. |
I just have so much respect for our seniors and our kids and the battle and spirit that they had. It would have been so easy for that game to turn into like a 9-2 game. |
I knew going in that they were going to put it at the net with wrist shots and tips. That's what they do so very well. |
I know (Michigan) State hasn't scored a goal in three straight NCAA games. But this group ? they do what they need to do. |
I never thought he played out of panic or fear or worry because he always knew he could go faster (and) catch somebody. He had such great vision and good skills. He'd pass it over a stick, under a stick ? he just could do anything the situation called for. |
I really like the way we fought back after that first goal. There was no panic whatsoever and I just think they had a feeling the puck was going to go in. |
I still think we can score more. We've got guys that haven't gotten hot yet. We haven't played our best hockey yet. I don't think we've reached our peak as a team by any means. |
I think it takes a lot of pressure off of this team. |
I think the nature of Big Ten schools (is) they're not happy just to have programs. You put smiles on people's faces by winning. And the expectation is you do it the right way. |
I think they have the best set of forwards in the league. It'll be a tough weekend for us. |
I think we were more dangerous on the attack and we had the better speed. It's very encouraging. |
I think we're a little nervous right now. I'm trying to get our guys to relax and not treat every game like it is life and death. |
