individual nice
It's a nice individual accolade if he can get it.
grown guys solid
We started out very solid back there, then got young real quick. Now our young guys have grown up. I like where we're at right now.
good guys happen harp shoot
We always harp on our guys - good things happen when you shoot the puck.
good guys knew locker momentum room stressed
They got the momentum there in the second, but I stressed to our guys that that was as good as we would see them all night. I knew as long as we could get to the locker room at 2-2 we'd be OK.
breathing call game gives room
They have a game in hand, but this gives us some breathing room ? if you can call it that.
against alan best blocked college consummate entire great happy hockey led matched move penalty proud team top
Alan was the consummate defensive-defenseman for our team, and in my opinion, one of the best at doing that in the entire USHL. He was matched against other team's top lines, he was our best penalty killer, he led our team in blocked shots...he did everything for us. I'm happy and proud that he'll get to move on to a great college hockey program.
defenders good guys hooks job scoring year
Your guys that have scored all year should be scoring in the playoffs, too. (Sioux Falls') two big defenders were doing a good job on them with hooks and holds, but they always find a way to score.
against
You never want to go 0-5 against one team.
team tough
They are a tough team to play. They play . . . physical.
prepared team tonight
There was one team prepared to play tonight and one team that wasn't. The team that was up 2-0 was prepared.
fine kyle player
Kyle is as fine of a player as the league's ever seen.
certainly earned excel good guys hard notoriety players team thankful toward work
I think each one of them has certainly earned it. The better your team does, the more notoriety you are going to get. The guys who have made the all-star game, they put in the hard work for it, but should be just as thankful toward their teammates. Without good players around you, you don't get to excel like that.
al captain effort guys hurt john leadership losing number quiet standpoint time whether
I think it hurt us number one from a leadership standpoint because John was our captain and Al . . . was a quiet leader with his effort he'd give every day. It hurt us defensively losing two experienced guys like that. Unfortunately, it coincided with the time we went through a slump. Whether that was part of it or not, I'm not sure.

Over a 60-game schedule you're going to have ups and downs. What will be important is how we respond with the best team in the league coming in.
