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.

We've played them fairly recently and know what they are. They're a big, strong team that is physical, and their goalie, Wylie Rogers, is playing outstanding.

almost deal grueling physically playing step taken
Not only have we been through it mentally, but we're much better off physically because we have almost everyone. It's grueling for sure, but it is what it is and you have to find a way to deal with it. We're playing well, and I think we've taken a big step as a team.
fact period playing proudest team third tough
I'm proudest of the fact that this team doesn't quit. To come back when you're down two in the third period when they're playing that well, that's tough to do.

We came in here knowing we were in the NCAA Tournament. But it doesn't diminish our excitement about playing for a championship.
honest last lose playing sweat three whereas win
It's great, to be honest with you. The last three years down here, we've had to just kind of sweat it out. What's going to happen? Lose the first game, do you have to win the second? Whereas now, you're playing for two championships, in essence.

This team is completely the new one. Last year's team was the end of the carryover. I think the group of seniors last year wished they had played for Ron.

This team has worked their tails off and I'm proud of them. They feel good right now and they should.

This tastes really good, but it's one more step in the process. We're going to enjoy this.
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.

We got a big tie for us and nationally, that's going to help us and steady us so we'll take the point.
