confidence draw home remember road win
I remember my first road win was pretty big and I got a lot of confidence from that. I think you draw a lot of what you do at home from when you're on the road.
allowed careful good hit ruts sign
That's always a good sign when you're allowed out on the ice. I've just got to be careful to not hit any ruts (in the ice) and not do anything fancy. Just working that way, slowly, should get me back faster.
approach best compromise convince hopefully might quite strategy talk taught
But he taught that back in the day. We talk about things. If things aren't working out quite the way we want it to, then we talk. It might take some yelling, but you convince each other that this way is best or you compromise and hopefully come up with the best strategy as to how you're going to approach that save.
best far hopefully knew pad short
I knew I had the short side, so all they had was the far side. Hopefully if it was any closer, hopefully I would've got a pad on it. Posts are your best friends, and I got one (Saturday).
guess happy pulled speculate team
I guess you can speculate all you want. I'm just happy that the team pulled through.
andy doubles great hands phenomenal strong
Andy is just a phenomenal leader. Andy is a very strong doubles player. He's got a strong serve. He's got great hands at the net.
call feedback friday game guys hopefully tuesday watching yelling
It's going to be different. I've never experienced that. I think I'll be yelling at the screen. I think I'll be yelling at the refs. I think it's just going to be like watching an NHL game on a Tuesday night. I'll be watching and hopefully give some feedback to the guys if they give me a call Friday night.
confident feeling felt good reacting start
The whole start of the year, I felt really good and really confident on my feet. It's a good feeling when you get back to that same feeling on the ice. You're not second-guessing your moves, you're just reacting to the shot. That's the way you've got to play and that's the way you have success.
good shots
They're a good team, getting that many shots on us.
definitely direction room ship turn
There's definitely some room (to improve). We wanted to turn the ship around and get it in the right direction, but that's a long process.
bags body everybody ice putting successful
Everybody was putting their body on the line. I know there will be some ice bags out there. That's what you need to do to be successful in championship-like games.
goal happened score wrapped
They score their first goal when we're still wrapped up with what happened with Mac.
bottom brothers came five great guided guys leadership leading program proud seniors taken team testament
It's been a testament to how great our seniors have been and how their leadership has really guided everybody. From when I came in here, they were only sophomores and they were always the guys that were even leading the team then. They've really taken this program from the bottom to the top. You can't really say enough about those five guys. I'm really proud of them and they'll be my brothers for life.
confidence far game looking night rest team win
The way we're feeling, the confidence that we have in each other, we know we can win every night and every game. The rest of the season, it's win each game. We're not looking to look too far ahead. Now it's just one game at a time, one team at a time.
