beat goals love obviously people score seven six
Obviously we'd love to score six or seven goals but we don't do that. You're not going to beat people easy.
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.
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.
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.

Sometimes you like to win maybe better or prettier but, whatever, we'll take the win and go home and get ready for Saturday.

Most nights we don't score more than three goals, but we've found a way to win with three.
best gotten guys hockey hot peak played reached score team
I still think we can score more. We've got guys that haven't gotten hot yet. We haven't played our best hockey yet. I don't think we've reached our peak as a team by any means.
jeff puck starting
I thought Jeff was really sharp, and the puck is starting to go for us.

We've been fighting hard now for a couple of years to get back nationally to a legitimate national level of a program. I'm convinced we're there.
