bounce fought good knew michigan sitting state sudden tough wishing
We knew it was going to be a tough game. Michigan State was not going to go down easily. They fought back. They're down one goal. A bounce one way and all of a sudden it's in the net, and we could be sitting here wishing Michigan State good luck.
challenge four good gotten last past played row
We have been getting good starts. The last four in a row we've played a good first, so I think we have gotten past that for the most part. I think the challenge for us is to play consistently for 60 minutes.

Naturally I am disappointed that Jimmy will not be back with our team this season, but I am also very proud of Jim and excited for his future with Detroit.
college consistent difficult example good moments run team together
It's very difficult to put a consistent run together in college hockey, and I think we're a good example of that. We've had our moments but at the same time, we're very beatable as well. I think a team like BU is a good example.

That's probably the only reason we're here in the Frozen Four, because we had such good special teams. So it's a bit ironic that that cost us in this game.

break coming continuing effort exactly finally game goals good hard ice key knew needed power puck solid special team
It was a good solid team effort today. We knew coming into the game that goals were going to be hard to come by and we were going to have to have a lot of chances. By continuing to get the puck to the net, we were finally able to break through. Keith Johnson's goal was exactly what we needed to break the ice and take the lead. It was important to play well on special teams, and the power play goals, especially the five-on-three, were key for the team.
against backs deserve fate goal good guys intensity knew result road time tough worked
It was a big, big weekend. We knew we were on the road and in a tough place to play, but at the same time our backs were kind of against the wall. Our guys did play well. I thought we had good intensity and we worked hard. So did Northeastern, but in the end we were one goal better tonight. But the result could have been very different. I thought they did deserve a better fate tonight.
