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.
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.

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.

That's what is so great about this line, that each player has his own different identity. That's why it clicks so well.

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.
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.
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.
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.
individual mind points season team worried
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.
