More important than anything else, it's BC and it's always great to beat them.
club goal strengths
We think we have a very competitive club in a very competitive league. I think our strengths will be in goal and our defense.

We were dominated. At no time were we in this game.
college emotions great hockey
It was a great college hockey game. The emotions were great.
difficult everybody focused gonna good league losing period sharp stays team thinking top understand
We're gonna go on a losing streak, too, because that's the way this league is. It's difficult to be sharp for a long period of time. I understand that. I'm not thinking everybody should be perfect. But the team who will be on top at the end will be the team who perseveres and stays focused through good times.

We're in very good shape as far as skill, experience and skating ability there.

When he came back here, he loved to look up his old friends. He made a point to do that.
anybody coaches excitement five four less might pressure recently team teams tournament win won
There's always pressure on all the players, all the coaches to win this tournament. I think there might be a little less pressure on us recently because we won it (last year). It's not like we haven't won it in five years and we got to get going here. So I don't really think it's that big an effect. It's a new team every year. It's a new tournament every year. It's two games. Anybody can win it. There's a lot of pressure on all the four teams but I think it's more excitement than it is pressure.
gonna sure
As of yesterday, I was sure he wasn't gonna play.
avoid learn matter question
Your safety's in question no matter where you are. You just learn to avoid the alleys.
far reach
something like 15 or 20 is not too far of a reach for those guys.

No question in my mind, he saved his best year for his senior year. He's got a good chance of making All-American the way he's going.
goal helped
I thought getting that first goal helped us get jacked up a bit.
