excellent game hockey last played playing tight type
This was an excellent hockey game. We played a tight game defensively and really have been playing the type of hockey we need to over the last month.
close decided game great referee speed teams unusual won
This was a tremendously hard-fought game. The game had great speed and intensity, and the referee decided to let the teams play. We have won a lot of close games, so this was not unusual for us.
country due games lead missed
I don't know what our missed games are, but we must lead the country in games missed due to injury.
certainly game goals gone maybe puck three
I thought that was a game we could have gone up by certainly at least two, maybe three (goals). But we couldn't get the puck in the net.
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.
games goal group ncaa state straight three
I know (Michigan) State hasn't scored a goal in three straight NCAA games. But this group ? they do what they need to do.
battle easy game kids respect seniors spirit turn
I just have so much respect for our seniors and our kids and the battle and spirit that they had. It would have been so easy for that game to turn into like a 9-2 game.
game played work
If there hadn't been an injury, they probably would have played every game together. I like the way they work off each other.
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.
ability game job matter seem turn year
No matter what threesome I seem to have in there, they go out and do their job. But they've had an ability this year at times to go out and turn a game our way.
game gave kids lived ounce
It was a game that lived up to the game we all thought it would be. Those kids gave every ounce they had.
game jam log mindset obviously tough
It's a log jam and obviously every game is very important. The mindset is so important because every game is going to be tough to win.
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.
