BU played very well. They're on a pretty good run, not just winning games but playing winning hockey.
Having said that, I thought we played particularly well in a lot of different areas at New Hampshire.
I think Wisconsin is the best team we have played this year over 60 minutes. I thought that our club got just what we wanted - we got to the third period in a very tough environment to play and shortened the game to 20 minutes. One power-play goal was the difference.
I thought BU played better than us tonight, and they won the game. They just took control of the game in the second period.
Wisconsin really has an excellent hockey team. There were a lot of comments in our locker room and from our players about how well they're coached, how talented their players are and how well they played tonight. They are very deserving champions.
We played what I think is a really solid, physical team in Lowell. They're bigger and stronger than we are. They're older and a bit more experienced. We took a lot of hits, but we got up and played.
That's how close things are sometimes. We played really hard. I think we competed very hard.
They've been a terrific addition to our league. We've played them five times (5-0) and every game has been very hotly contested.
They are very deserving national champions. I think (Wisconsin) is the best team we have played this year over 60 minutes.
They were a deserving national championship team. They're the best team we've played all season.
