We pay attention to detail. Each and every aspect of the game - we talk about it, we practice it. I thought we struggled early, but it is another one of those areas we work at. It?s detail at this time of year that?s important. |
We wanted to get back to being a nationally recognized program. I think we're there. |
We worked so hard to get here, and we improved so much. I knew coming in they were going to try to do it with wrist shots and tips. Unfortunately, they went in. |
We're all concerned about where we finish, but I don't know if there's anybody you want to play. It's going to be a whale of a playoff once it's finally decided. |
We're fighting for a first-round bye so that's the only thing we're kind of thinking about, talking about ? just as we've done over the last couple of months is just try to put wins on the board. |
We're getting steady goaltending and we've grown up as a team. We're battle-tested. |
We've been fighting hard now for a couple of years to get back nationally to a legitimate national level of a program. I'm convinced we're there. |
We've got Notre Dame, a much-improved team, coming up, so we've got to let this one go and get ready for Friday. |
We've got to live in the future now. As good as this (past) weekend was, you've got to let it go and get by it. |
We've grown up a lot and we're battle tested in some tough environments and games. We'll take the good of the regular season and get ready for the playoffs. |
We've played them fairly recently and know what they are. They're a big, strong team that is physical, and their goalie, Wylie Rogers, is playing outstanding. |
What's haunted us all year is our ability to score goals. I thought that was a game where we could have gone up by certainly at least two, maybe three. |
You always like to control your own destiny and we do that by playing teams that we need to beat. |
You can't became a good team easily. And this one did. |
You never know how you are going to play after a layoff, and I thought we were sluggish early. They got the lead, and I think they played very well with the lead. (Wylie) Rogers played big in net as well. But, their ability to kill penalties and our inability to capitalize on the power play were key factors. |
