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.
best chance good question saved senior year
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.
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.
ability experience far good shape skating
We're in very good shape as far as skill, experience and skating ability there.
beginning bit corners freshman gave gone good gotten people playing ready taken year
He was a little taken aback a little bit at the beginning of the year confidence-wise and playing people in the corners and controlling people the way he can now. But he gave us a good freshman year. It wasn't like he wasn't ready to play. And he's gotten better and better as it's gone along.
came five four games gives good missing physical playing poorly presence senior soon
He's a senior with a lot of experience, he gives us a physical presence and he's a real good skater. And all of that was missing in his first four or five games before he came to me and told me, 'I can't play, I don't know what's going on with me, I can't play.' He was playing so poorly I would have benched him pretty soon anyway.
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.
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.
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.
crime happens matter time
I'm not surprised. It's just a matter of time before big-city crime happens here.
college emotions great hockey
It was a great college hockey game. The emotions were great.
best might run since
That might be the best run we've ever had since the '78 team.
time
We were dominated. At no time were we in this game.
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.
