Obviously we're disappointed with the result. Both games, we had a one-goal lead going into the third period.

He was learning a lot from his dad.

I think controlling momentum is a big thing, especially with a big building like the Kohl Center.

I think certainly the pressure's on Wisconsin. They've been highly ranked all year. They're expected to win the series. We're an eighth-place team that has knocked off some big teams.

We have to tighten up those turnovers. I think that was the difference in the hockey game.

When we were successful in this building, we scored shorthanded goals. If we get a bounce here or there (tonight) and if one of those finds the back of the net, it's a different outcome.

Elliott rose to the occasion on both of those.

You have to give Wisconsin credit. I thought they outworked us shift in, shift out.

You don't have to win it clean, but, boy, you can't lose it clean like that.

They've got a lot of speed. They've got young players making a lot of plays.

Our effort was much, much better tonight. When you're down 4-2, a 4-4 tie feels like a win.

None of his unit was injured, 34 planeloads of them. That's amazing.

It's a real confidence builder for our team, to play the No. 1 team in the country and get a point.

They're a tough team to get offense against. You look at the shot chart, and a lot of the shots come from the perimeter. They don't give an awful lot of Grade-A chances up. When they do, Elliott answers the bell.
