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.
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.
goals great key pride role score showing step
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.
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.
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.
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.
accolades bring contribute fought great national nice players team
I am proud. I fought hard. It's been a long road. We have a lot of great players on this team who have their accolades and have had a great year. It's nice just to be able to contribute and bring a national championship to Wisconsin.
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.
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.
college michigan since
I always wanted to go to Michigan since I was pretty young. When you thought of college hockey, you usually thought of Michigan.
bigger coach couple next seize
Like coach (Mike Eaves) said, the season's not over. We've got bigger accomplishments to seize in the next couple of weeks.
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.
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.
