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.
credit expect game guy john playing top win
Give John Curry a lot of credit for being what we expect him to be. A guy who can win a game for us when we're not playing at the top of our game.
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.
game moving numbers playing question since skate
He's been playing very well since then -- he wasn't getting numbers but he was playing well. I thought he wasn't moving his feet, I thought he was being too cute, too clever. And he is pretty clever, but his game is skate first because that's what you have to do in this league, and I think there's no question that he's been playing much better.
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.
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.
chance home playing sound whether
We're playing well. Whether you're playing at home or on the road, if you're playing technically sound with a lot of emotion, you've got a chance to win.
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.
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.
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.
