clearly knew official shot
It was clearly in. But from the shot they have to use for the replay, they couldn't tell. We knew immediately it was in. But there was nothing the official could've done.
five miss nice opportunity seniors super
It was so nice to have the opportunity to put them out there at the end. We have five seniors ? we'll miss them badly. They've been super for us.
beat bit ohio win work
It's a big win obviously. Ohio State's a little bit beat up team, but I thought they're strong. They work hard.
credit excellent gets people skate transition underrated
They skate very well. They're a very underrated team. Ferris really gets up and down ? they have an excellent transition game. They're just a lot better than people want to give them credit for.
case finish home ice stand top worst
They still can finish in the top four. Worst case scenario, they want home ice so we stand in their way.
bottom tie
At home, you're disappointed with a tie ? bottom line.
coached consistency game himself importance player prepares
I've never coached a player in 34 years who prepares like he prepares. To the detail, to the consistency, to how much he stresses the importance of getting himself into his game mode.
home maybe prettier ready win
Sometimes you like to win maybe better or prettier but, whatever, we'll take the win and go home and get ready for Saturday.
contribute good multiple players seniors teams time
Teams have to have good seniors and they have to have multiple players contribute at this time of the year. We had that.
darn game home lose twice win
You've got to try to win a game up there. Two would be a bonus, (but) you've got to get one. They don't lose twice at home very darn often.

We came in here knowing we were in the NCAA Tournament. But it doesn't diminish our excitement about playing for a championship.
came christmas contribute guys hard step worked
We came back after Christmas and the guys worked so hard to get better. It's encouraging when different guys step in and contribute each night.
areas aspect attention detail game pay practice struggled talk time work year
We pay attention to detail. Each and every aspect of the game - we talk about it, we practice it. I thought we struggled early, but it is another one of those areas we work at. It?s detail at this time of year that?s important.
against good positive ranked schedule tough worry year
The real positive thing about a tough schedule is if you end up having a good year then you've been battle-tested. You don't have to worry about how are we going to do against a nationally ranked team.
