calm coaches freshmen opportunity trying
We're just trying to mature. We've got a lot of freshmen who really don't know what to expect. The coaches are just trying to calm us down and get us on the right track, but jitters are great. That's why you play this game, to have those jitters and have that opportunity to be successful.
title
Yes, I have that kind of title on my back. But I'll put up my numbers. It's just going to be a little harder.
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.
bad bit cleaning definitely flowing game job league talk year
I think the league did a really bad job this year with obstruction. They talk about cleaning the game up a little bit and making it more free- flowing like the NHL. That definitely did not happen.
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.

The big thing is we just got outplayed this weekend. Granted, we lost Elliott. We just got outplayed.

This is a different part of the season - different mind-set, different everything. You're not worried about your points anymore. You're not worried about individual achievements. It's more of a team part of the season.

I take great pride in showing that I'm able to step up in key times. My role is to score goals and put up numbers.
build focus good high main previous step win
I think this is the first step of championships. We want to win this championship, and it's just going to build up. (We'll) use this as preparation to upcoming championships. We want to win this tournament, and that's our main focus. In previous years, that hasn't been as high of a focus as it is this year, and I think that's a very good thing for us.
fighting fights-and-fighting situation
I think that's huge, going into a situation where you're fighting for spots.
hurt injury
He's been a big part of this team, just like all of us. With a big injury like that, it does hurt the morale.
job numbers
I just did my part. It's my job to put up the numbers and I thought I did that.

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 decided to take a chance and went to the net. Things just worked out.
