And we're going to need some of the new guys to step in and contribute. |
He has good poise, a great shot and he can play physical. |
I chipped it up into his pad and got pushed into the net. |
I cut to the middle as quickly as I could and got off a shot. |
I'm very fortunate to be playing with those guys. They're great players. |
It was just a great play. Mike Lundin put the puck up nicely to Greg. He jumped over the blue line and I came over for support. He put it into space. I just was trying to get off quick. The glove was open so I just tried to put it there. |
It's a great accomplishment. We started off great this year, had some trouble, and there were lot of questions around about us. But we knew within the dressing room that we had the team, had the talent, just had to put it together. |
It's a real tough feeling to keep your fate in other teams' hands. But hopefully it is a blessing in disguise. We really want to get in that tournament. We know we can do some damage if we get in there. Right now we're just waiting and hoping. |
It's really a tough pill to swallow. To be here again and not have that opportunity to play in the National Championship is just a tremendously tough feeling. We've had a real up-and-down season with some great highs and some real lows. A lot of people counted us out throughout the whole season. I think we have shown a lot of character this year. |
Puck movement is a huge thing, especially on the power play. |
That was definitely tough. That got the crowd back into the game. |
We came out flying and we kept on them all game. They're a real quick team, so we had to get on them, not give them any space, and clog up the neutral zone. We got the puck deep and hit their defensemen. |
We had the crowd out of the game. With that goal they just got back in the game and the place went crazy. |
We just have do what we have been doing all year: play our style of hockey which is good team defense turning into offense. As long as our forwards come back and help out then we are going to be alright. We just have to protect Bishop and let him see the puck. |
We knew they could score goals. Our job was to not let them. |
