CC was a very impressive team. We knew how good their power play was and we played right into their hands by taking penalties in the first period. We showed some frustration, but they really executed. If you give them 5-on-3s, they're not going to miss very much.
He's played really well. As long as he plays well, I'll probably go with him.
Jeff had to come up with some pretty good saves at some pretty critical times. We played very well. Very solid. We got the first goal, and that's so big in these games. Confidence goes way up.
I still think we can score more. We've got guys that haven't gotten hot yet. We haven't played our best hockey yet. I don't think we've reached our peak as a team by any means.
I thought we played really well. You don't beat a quality team like Michigan without playing very, very well.
We've played them fairly recently and know what they are. They're a big, strong team that is physical, and their goalie, Wylie Rogers, is playing outstanding.
This was an excellent hockey game. We played a tight game defensively and really have been playing the type of hockey we need to over the last month.
I never thought he played out of panic or fear or worry because he always knew he could go faster (and) catch somebody. He had such great vision and good skills. He'd pass it over a stick, under a stick ? he just could do anything the situation called for.
If there hadn't been an injury, they probably would have played every game together. I like the way they work off each other.
They got the jump on us, and then I thought our kids settled down and played great.
It's a tough loss. We played a great first period, but their speed is tough to defend against.
We knew coming in how good their power play was. And obviously, we played right into their game.
This team is completely the new one. Last year's team was the end of the carryover. I think the group of seniors last year wished they had played for Ron.
