beat great needed night played shoot
For them to shoot as well as they did and play as well as they did we couldn't beat them. We needed to play great and I thought we played well. We needed them to have an off night and they didn't.
played
For the first 35 minutes, that's as well as we've played in a long time.
andrew bad blame played took
A.J. (goalie Andrew Jackson) played really well and we had a lot of chances, but we took a lot of bad penalties. But I'm not one to blame the ref.
erase helped last loss memory ready team win
The only way to erase that memory is to win the tournament. If we lose, it will be just as devastating as last year. But I think that last year's loss has helped this team get ready for this tournament.
great means overall
Overall it's been a great week, and by no means are we done looking.
best dallas gives opportunity playing win
Playing in Dallas gives us the best opportunity to win a game. You're not having to play Villanova in Philadelphia or Connecticut in Philadelphia.
happen
I think that we started slow, and it's not going to all happen overnight,
heck
I think that would be a heck of a game.
progress ran steam third tonight
I think we're making some progress but tonight we ran out of steam in the third period,
ahead finals helped last looking loss motivated pain past team year
I think last year's loss in the finals has helped this team with our focus. The pain of last year has really motivated this team, and I don't think you'll see us looking ahead or past any team.
address practice work
We have a lot of work to do in our own end and we'll address some things in practice,
game knew pain until won
We were so devastated. The pain never went away until we won this game tonight, for me at least. I knew that was the only way that I could get over that loss.
happen
It's going to happen someday. I told our guys, why not us and why not this year?
flying glass normally whatever
They (Western) were just flying to the glass and that's normally how we play. For whatever reason, we didn't get after it like I thought we would.
