bit given stronger teams trouble younger
They're an older, bigger, stronger team, and those teams have given us a little bit of trouble at times because we're a younger team.
coming experience game hopefully jump knew learning next obviously settle team
They're obviously a battle-tested team and we knew coming into here that they're a big-game program. Their experience I thought was a factor. They got the jump on us before we could settle down. This was a learning game for us and hopefully we can take it to the next level.
everybody games hockey knows time win
Everybody knows the significance of the games and the time of the year. We want to win two hockey games this weekend.
defensive expect injury neutral scoring trouble zone
They've had trouble scoring and they've got some injury situations. I expect it to be a defensive game. I think we'll see some fallback and some neutral zone trapping.
defend great played speed tough
It's a tough loss. We played a great first period, but their speed is tough to defend against.
awful trust
I trust them to go out there and be responsible and play how we want to play and that's not unusual. They've done that an awful lot for us.
anybody complaints complaints-and-complaining dealt difficult handle hard
It's very difficult obviously, and it's hard for anybody to handle it perfect. But I have no complaints at all with how he's dealt with it.
bigger game goal goals margin score second secret
It's no secret what we have to do (to have a successful) second half. Our goal differential is about 0.2. We score 3.1 goals a game and give up 2.9. You have to have a bigger margin of goals scored and goals against.
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.
adjust change nice team
The nice thing about our team right now is we don't have to change anything. We're not going to adjust our lineup. We're not going to change what we're doing.
against careful left match teams wing
They play a left wing lock, they don't give up much. You better be careful against them. These two teams will match up very well.
jump kids played settled
They got the jump on us, and then I thought our kids settled down and played great.
consistent far kept line together
They are really, really good. They are by far the most consistent line we have and the only one that I have kept together all season.
