beginning bring class destiny front good point quite recognize stake teams time year
We know what's at stake and what we have in front of us. Good teams know in the beginning of the year what kind of destiny they can bring to themselves. I think we recognize that. My class and (the senior) class, we've been here quite a long time and we're at that point where this is our year and we'll try to make the most of it.
enter games last learn mind open team tried
You learn how to enter those games with an open mind and just not try to do too much. The last two years I've tried to take it on myself to do stuff. It has to be a team effort.
couple destiny final freshman game junior last national ourselves position sees sophomore team win year
The last couple of years was to put ourselves in a position to win a national championship. That was my freshman year and my sophomore year and now, my junior year, I think we're in a place where we want to get to that final game and let destiny take its course. That's what our team sees happening.

I know they've slipped a little bit, but we hope to bring the program back to where it should be.

I knew I was going to have a great night because I was well-prepared, well-focused. You know when you're on top of your game right away. I knew it was going to be a special night. It was unreal.

I just did my part. It's my job to put up the numbers and I thought I did that.

The big thing is we just got outplayed this weekend. Granted, we lost Elliott. We just got outplayed.
bring coach contribute funny great locker national nice players room until
It's funny, I didn't even really know (about the award) until I got to the locker room and Coach (Mike Eaves) told me. It's been a long road. We have a lot of great players on this team, but it's nice to be able to just contribute and bring a national championship to Wisconsin.
battle chance emotions fed guys
It was something I had to battle through. It was frustrating. There were a lot of different emotions. I wanted to battle through it. You only get this chance once in your lifetime. It was something I wanted to get through, and it was something the guys fed off it well.
cramp game stretch system unique
It was a unique game and I just wanted to be a part of it. I had a little system going. I'd go on, cramp up, get off, get fluids, stretch out and get back out there.
box care enjoy hockey policy stick
Each stick out of the box isn't always the same and you've got to make adjustments. I enjoy that. That's a part of hockey that I like. You take care of your sticks, they'll take care of you. That's the policy that I go by.
good job second trying
They did a good job of trying to get into my head. I think they accomplished that in the second period.
hurts knowing respected
It's kind of a double-edged sword. In a way I didn't care, but it kind of hurts knowing the (numbers) you put up and not be respected that way.
chance great heart opportunity saw season took worth
I took my licks, but it's well worth it. I saw the opportunity and I saw a chance to score, and I took it. It was just a great, great pass. That's how our season has been going all year. It's all about heart and being relentless.
