We know this will be a tough game. They are talented and they really get out and pressure the ball. And they beat us last time. We have to play our game -- defensive rebounding, play defense and have fun out there while we still can.
On the replay you can clearly see it went in through the side, but that doesn't make it any easier to get your head back to the game after you think you've got it won.
We don't want to go to the NIT. But if we do, we'll go and try to win that, too. We will try to win every game, get to play more games and have fun.
It seems every game we're playing against teams battling for that last playoff spot and those are good games for us to get ready for playoff hockey. We want to get it into their heads that they're not going to beat us in the playoffs.
Everybody says that it takes a loss to lose and I think it did take a loss for us to lose in a sense. But overall, when we win games here at Duke, and we don't play well, we might as well have lost the game.
They came out, and they played strong. They got the puck behind us, and they skated well. We sort of sat back and waited to see what they were going to do, instead of going ahead with our game and trying to let them adjust to us instead of us adjusting to them.
We let those guys get back in the game a little bit. We have to play together for 48 minutes.
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.
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.
These games are going to be really crucial. It looks like we'll be fighting for the top spot in the division, and maybe the conference, so these games are going to be key for us. We have to try to get as many wins as possible.
I've seen him play like this all the time. This is what we all knew he could do. It's really no surprise to any of us. It's good to see him go out and dominate pretty much and have fun out there and be a leader.
I've been praying it won't go to trial. But sometimes reality sets in, and I realize that a dismissal is probably not going to happen.
Things are working out for me right now, but I know there is a lot more for me to learn,
There's really so much debris out there, you really can't tell what it is,
