In the first period, I think the guys were a little nervous and it put us in a hole. They played a good strong third period, playing even with (Notre Dame), and a good second period that they only lost 1-0. They saw that the system works. Notre Dame beat us by something like nine to 11 goals in games in the past. That says a lot for this team. |
It's like an all-star thing. It's a laid-back, relaxed day. |
That was a great effort by the guys. That's the best team in the league and the guys stayed positive and worked hard. It's nice for them to be able to feel good about the way they played. They gave everything they had, and that's what I asked. |
That?s what we?re looking forward to. The schedule started off tough, and now it?s getting easier.As long as we can stay focused and healthy, it should be a good second half of the season. |
There were three games this year that we were down and came back to win. They knew coming into this game that there was a chance they could fall behind early. They knew they had the ability to come back. That's what they learned this season. |
