Things got a little proverb

 Things got a little bit anxious after we started fouling out. But we had some guys who came off the bench to step up, and they pulled us through.

 A lot of our guys are overlooked on this team. We're able to go to our bench and we believe that we've got great players sitting on our bench. Tonight, they pulled it off.

 With those two guys on the bench, I challenged the rest of the guys to step up and make things happen. They responded nicely.

 I questioned one call, 'Why aren't you guys calling the right stuff?' It was good enough for a bench penalty. We haven't had a bench penalty all year. We can't control what the referee decides to call. We're not fouling people and we're (still) getting calls. That's not our team's fault, it's that simple. That's the freaky thing of it.

 That's one of the things I'm most proud of is the character of the guys on this roster. They're anxious to step up and play for their country.

 Everyone is capable of giving us a lift. We've been playing at least 10 guys. The guys off the bench have been anxious and ready to play.

 Probably the biggest challenge with this group is a lot of them at this time last year had just started dressing to sit on the bench at a varsity game. These guys are playing now and they've got to grow into these tight games. I think they took a step toward doing that tonight.

 We are going to need people on the bench to step up. We've had some surprise starters recently. Those guys and the bench players have to rise to the occasion.

 I started a freshman, three sophomore and a junior and we just took the second-place team close to the wire. Everyone contributed off the bench and this was a giant step for our program. We are 1-16 but we are improving and we played with these guys that are 9-3 in the league. We pretty much took their crowd out of the game.

 Doing all the little tricky things it takes to grow up, step by step, into an anxious and unsettling world.

 Other guys started talking, and I just shook my head. That kind of gives me a break sometimes, when other guys step up and say things and aren't just looking at me. Other leaders are emerging on this team, and that's something we're definitely going to need, especially going down this last little stretch that we have.

 I'm excited and can't wait to get this thing started. We have a great group of guys who did a good job at Spring Training. Now, it's time to get started with the next step. We all feel we're ready to take another step. Let's get it going.

 It's been a strength of ours all year. We play nine or 10 guys. We have different guys step up. We don't rely on one or two guys. We utilize our bench as much as we can.

 I think it's great for the game when you get those kind of players going behind the bench who know the game, know the right way it's meant to be played. Especially with the way hockey is going right now, I think it's exciting and hopefully there are more guys who will step behind (the bench) and continue to do that.

 I think we made a positive stride in how we played. We challenged every pass. If we make some of those interior shots, things go the other way. It was a step in the right direction, except for the fouling. We know that.
