effort feels tie
Our effort was much, much better tonight. When you're down 4-2, a 4-4 tie feels like a win.
both occasion rose
Elliott rose to the occasion on both of those.
clean lose win
You don't have to win it clean, but, boy, you can't lose it clean like that.
certainly expected highly knocked ranked team win
I think certainly the pressure's on Wisconsin. They've been highly ranked all year. They're expected to win the series. We're an eighth-place team that has knocked off some big teams.
difference hockey
We have to tighten up those turnovers. I think that was the difference in the hockey game.
both lead obviously third
Obviously we're disappointed with the result. Both games, we had a one-goal lead going into the third period.
shift wisconsin
You have to give Wisconsin credit. I thought they outworked us shift in, shift out.
none unit
None of his unit was injured, 34 planeloads of them. That's amazing.
builder confidence country team
It's a real confidence builder for our team, to play the No. 1 team in the country and get a point.
bounce finds successful
When we were successful in this building, we scored shorthanded goals. If we get a bounce here or there (tonight) and if one of those finds the back of the net, it's a different outcome.
players
They've got a lot of speed. They've got young players making a lot of plays.
answers awful chances offense shot shots team tough
They're a tough team to get offense against. You look at the shot chart, and a lot of the shots come from the perimeter. They don't give an awful lot of Grade-A chances up. When they do, Elliott answers the bell.
building momentum
I think controlling momentum is a big thing, especially with a big building like the Kohl Center.
learning
He was learning a lot from his dad.
