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.
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.

We came in here knowing we were in the NCAA Tournament. But it doesn't diminish our excitement about playing for a championship.

You always like to control your own destiny and we do that by playing teams that we need to beat.

Everybody knows the significance of the games and the time of the year. We want to win two hockey games this weekend.
five kept six solid
That first period, they could have had five or six alone. He was really solid and kept us in the game.
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.
difference excellent good league major philosophy referee
I'm not critical. I think that's a very good referee and an excellent crew, but I think there is a major difference in philosophy on what's called. That's a league philosophy.
