bear game goal power somewhere
It was just a much better game for us in all areas. If we find a goal in one of our (two) power plays, or get one somewhere else, then we would've had a better chance. We just have to bear down a little. I'm disappointed with the result, but not with our effort.
concerned injuries
I'm not concerned about injuries as much as complacency, but I don't see that happening,
dakota hungry north passion
North Dakota was the better team. They had more jump, more passion, more want. They were hungry and we didn't play very well, especially on defense.
chance ending final given half positive pulled season second somewhat team together tough
The season was tough on everyone, but if we had given up, we wouldn't have been able to do what we did in Denver. The team pulled together and got a chance to play in the Final Five. It was a somewhat positive ending to a not-so-good second half of the season.
five next played rid tough
I'd like to get rid of the first five minutes, but the next 35 I thought we played pretty well. It's tough to play catch-up hockey.
both close couple deserved hard high played teams tied
It wasn't even close (to being a high stick). We deserved to have tied the game. Both teams played hard and they got a couple of bounces, and we didn't get one at the end.

We're focusing on Thursday and to hopefully play three games there. We're not satisfied just to get there.
driven good group level patient players younger
We know we'll have to be patient as the younger players get comfortable with this level of hockey, but this is also a pretty driven group, ... This group can do a lot of good things.
focus good played playing
I know one thing: It better keep us pretty focused. Because we're playing some pretty good teams. Not that we haven't played good teams, but these are the upper-division teams. I think the focus will be there.
adversity key respond team tough younger
With a younger team there will be tough times and adversity. The key will be how we respond and how we get through those situations.
decent seen sum
We have seen glimpses of being a pretty decent team. But a lot of it is the sum of all parts. When they're together, we can be pretty good. When they're not, we get exposed.
behind believe closer desperate half helped hoping instead maybe players pulled season second situation team together win
Our team has pulled closer together and maybe being in a desperate situation helped us. We've put the second half of the season behind us and our players now believe they can win instead of hoping they can win.
build final games goal playoffs win
Our goal is still to get to the (league) Final Five, so we need to win some games before the playoffs and build some confidence.
goal great
He's having a great year. He's a goal scorer. He's been that way all his life.
