confidence critical goes good jeff played saves
Jeff had to come up with some pretty good saves at some pretty critical times. We played very well. Very solid. We got the first goal, and that's so big in these games. Confidence goes way up.
front jeff left might net save
Jeff had to come up with a big save early, when we left the front of the net open. If they get up 1-0, it might be a different result.
earlier hope resilient win year
Right now, you hope to find a way to win and we did. We were resilient enough to win tonight. Probably, earlier in the year we wouldn't have done that.
expectation faces happy nature schools smiles ten
I think the nature of Big Ten schools (is) they're not happy just to have programs. You put smiles on people's faces by winning. And the expectation is you do it the right way.
five four game goals hang took
I thought we could have had four or five (goals) in the first but you don't. You let them hang around and then they took the game away in the second.

I thought we played really well. You don't beat a quality team like Michigan without playing very, very well.

Getting home ice was a preseason goal and we've accomplished it, and now our goal is to finish second.

He seems to be right on top of things and very alert. We've always had trouble with him.

We maybe looked a little tired tonight, but I thought our kids never panicked, and got a hard-earned win in overtime. It is so important, particularly at this point of the season, to get points on the road. We got one win, and now its time to start focusing on getting another one tomorrow.

He's played really well. As long as he plays well, I'll probably go with him.

He deserves to play. We'll just see what happens.
gets plays situation
He gets no recognition whatsoever. He plays every situation and plays so much.

We're fighting for a first-round bye so that's the only thing we're kind of thinking about, talking about ? just as we've done over the last couple of months is just try to put wins on the board.
