behind couple game moved power provided puck won
The power play could have won us the game easily. It provided us with enough opportunities. With that 5-on-3, I don't know what more we have to do. We moved the puck well and got behind the goalie of couple of times. It just didn't go in the net.
depend found guys legs until
We had to depend on our goaltender until the guys found their legs tonight.
best dave giving guy holding nation playing tremendous
Dave Caruso is playing very, very well. I think he's the best goalie in the nation right now. He's giving us tremendous effort. So are other guys, but he's the guy holding us in there.
call character coming either goals grease puck recognize scoring setup tried
I want to recognize the character of our team, coming back and scoring two goals like that. They never say never. Was that a pretty setup goal? Either one of them? (It was) just puck on net. We tried to grease one out - that's why they call it a greasy goal.
demands follow game guys leaders team
We're not the same team we were the first game of the year. Some guys who thought they could follow now have to lead. There are different demands on them. We need 20 leaders on the ice.
came compliment effort figure good great guys hockey lost minutes obviously time win worked
We worked for 58 minutes and it was obviously a great effort, but we lost the hockey game. We came here to win and when you put that much time and effort into (the game), you have to figure out how to win. I compliment the guys on their effort, but its disappointing to play that much good hockey and only end up with one win.
came credit expected rose
They rose to the occasion. It's what we want them to do and it's what they expected to do when they came here. It's a credit to them and to their character.
beginning good knows player talked year
They got good goaltending tonight. He made the saves, and everyone knows they can score. We talked about it at the beginning of the year that they are one player away and they got it tonight.
anybody attack dame earlier friday grind next period reason season success team tough weekend worry
This is another tough weekend for us. We can't worry about anybody else or next weekend, just the first period of Friday night's game. Notre Dame is a tough team and they will grind it out, but we had success up there earlier in the season and we will attack that same reason this weekend.
energy guys halfway ran third three
I thought halfway through the third we just ran out of gas. Even our energy guys were tired. We were down to three regulars on defense.
coach dress
Just dress the coach warm, that's all I've got to say.
fought hanging kids knew proud saw together
I saw us hanging together out there. We fought back. We knew how important it was, and I'm proud of our kids for doing that.
anywhere bring building confidence effort fight game guys hard home hostile michigan obviously played rink transfer
I think our guys are building their confidence right now. Obviously we played hard and very well in a hostile atmosphere, as hostile as anywhere you are going to play. Our fight now is to bring that game back to our home rink and transfer that effort to Michigan State.
calming time
Any time you have goaltending like that, it has a calming effect.
