He's a very intense guy, ... But he's very professional, too. You know where you stand with him. He likes to be prepared. If you're not prepared, he'll blame himself. And he prides himself on his team doing the little things and having that strong work ethic.
Our first priority is to go out and win here. We want to finish up the regular season on a good note, get that second seed and get ready for the tournament.
Playing with Stevie, he might not be able to do as much as he could back in the day when he could skate a lot better, but there's a reason he's one of the greatest. He's so smart and he makes those right plays and it makes it easy for a guy like me to play with him.
I got back to playing on the power play, and playing on the penalty kill, playing on the first line, and things like that will help me,
He had the injury and I think he was hesitant to do what he did before. It was kind of tough.
He is going to stop the first ones. We've got to get those second chances and get bodies in front of him. I think when we do that it sort of gets goaltenders off their game.
Sure, we wanted to make it to the (NCAA) tournament. But this is a chance to go out and have another game. As a senior, you want that opportunity. We just want to make the most of it and play as many more games as we can.
State regulations require archeology involvement when digging in sensitive areas, but Gene's contribution goes above and beyond. He's taken such a personal interest in the history here and brought it to the attention of the Historical Society and the city,
I just tried to have a couple moves in mind and try to go in and make him move first.
I know I'm going to get a good opportunity to get some minutes, get some playing time, so I just want to do what I can to get as much ice time as I can. I don't think it's going to be any easier or anything like that. I know if I don't do my job, I know someone else will be in my spot to do that. I don't want to give that up.
I have to come in and earn a spot; nothing will be handed to me, ... Hopefully everything I did over the summer will help me this coming season.
I have to be ready to take them (jumpers) when I'm open and when those guys double Shaq, he kicks it out and I take the shot.
I must be responsible and accountable for my actions.
I'm happy with the point, but you'd still like to get two whenever you can. We had some chances late in the third period and again in the overtime. It was a tight-checking game with a playoff atmosphere. A game like this is good for us to get ready for the playoffs.
