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.
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.
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.
focus game great knew night special top
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.
biggest chance coming create great line offense plays pride scoring shift throw
We try to create offense right away and throw them back on their heels. That's going to be the biggest thing. We take great pride in that, coming out strong. That's why I think our line plays the first shift every game, because we want to get that pressure, we want to get that scoring chance right away.
adjust beginning capable certain definitely far hit impact level players realize stride struggled teams
At the beginning of the year, I think we hit our stride pretty well. But getting down the stretch, teams are keying on certain players and that's something you need to adjust to. I think we struggled with that of late, but there's definitely another level we want to get to and I think we're capable of. That's going to have a big impact on how far we go, and we realize that.
coach definitely helped leaders lets looser mold uptight vocal
Very much so. He's a looser coach nowadays. He's not so uptight and not so vocal out there. He sits back and lets the leaders do their jobs. I think that's definitely helped to mold the team.
hard work
That was the story of the year. Hard work and going to the net.
clicks great player
That's what is so great about this line, that each player has his own different identity. That's why it clicks so well.

Like coach (Mike Eaves) said, the season's not over. We've got bigger accomplishments to seize in the next couple of weeks.

It's my job to put up the numbers and do my job offensively, and I thought I did that tonight. I guess it's just another day at the office and we'll come back Saturday and, hopefully, do the same thing.
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.
