certainly everybody fight gonna good last number sharing step
There's gonna be a good fight for that position. John's got the step up on everybody else, that's for sure, after what he did last year, but there's certainly no guaranteeing him the job, number one, and there's no guaranteeing that he won't be sharing it with somebody, too.
anybody catch enjoy evening gonna kept played risen stretch style teams
To enjoy the evening tonight, getting the championship, and getting it in the style we did down the stretch here is very nice. I really didn't think anybody was gonna catch BC. We just kept winning, which was nice, and we got some help. BC has not played poorly, they've played well. But the other teams have risen to the occasion.
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.
gonna last next question somehow win
The question is, what's gonna make this better than last year? The only thing that can make it better is to somehow win a championship in these next two tournaments.
gonna sure
As of yesterday, I was sure he wasn't gonna play.
ankle bothering close gets gonna good missed percent playing plays plenty practice side until
He gets banged up otherwise, too - he plays so hard. So he missed one practice because his ankle was bothering him, not so much his side was killing him. In general, I think he's as close to 100 percent as he's gonna be until he has his operation, and I think that's plenty good enough. He's playing very, very well.
almost came
It was almost surreal. They came so quick.
best college good held hockey hold number period periods second shots
The second period was one of our best periods of college hockey in a long, long time. It has to be that good to hold BC to the number of shots we held them to.
advantage bit both chance climbed concerned far games huge national seat statement tournament
Both games are huge for us. We've kind of climbed out of the back seat and into the driver's seat a little bit as far as home-ice advantage is concerned in our league, and a chance to make the national tournament on our own merits. This will make a big statement for us.
anderson driving force tom
The Tom Anderson 'Atom' has been the driving force for this record. It has been used on 75% of the songs, and that's a conservative estimate.
advantage good hard tournament
We've had good years, we've been in the finals, ... It's a hard tournament to win. It's a hard tournament to get to. So we're here, let's take advantage of it.
foot game instead moved passes passing puck smart support trying
Most of the game we moved the puck very well. When we support the puck well and make 15-20 foot passes instead of trying to make 35-40 foot passes, we really look like a smart passing team.
everybody fabulous might playing terrific year younger
I think everybody thought that this might be a down year for them because they were playing so many younger kids, but they're getting fabulous goaltending and their upperclassmen are playing very well. They've had a terrific run.
best clever moved plays puck using
I thought he was our best player. He moved the puck well, he made some real clever passes. He also made some plays where he was getting in himself, using his own speed.
