Tim Whitehead Second Quotations

Like any good goalie, it becomes more difficult to make saves if you take his eyes away on screens and get to the net on second and third shots.

I think it was important that we didn't get frustrated. We thought we had a decent first period and we had some chances. But I don't think we got to the net very well for the second shot. I thought in the second and third period we did a better job of getting to the net for the second and third shot.

I thought both teams defended their end well, there weren't a lot of second shots. I think that was a big difference.

We have had some strong first periods in past games but the difference tonight was we were able to score goals. Getting the early goals was important tonight. Ben Bishop had a strong second period in which things could have turned. That was a big reason why we won the game. Tomorrow night will give us another opportunity and promises to be an exciting but challenging game.

We played a sloppy game and did not play our best. We are going to have to come out better on Saturday night. We gave them odd-man rushes, but kept the shot total down. It was not our best defensive effort. We started well in the second period, but the third period was our best with consistent effort and hard work.

If he wasn't nervous, I'd be surprised. I thought he was great, especially given that it was only his second collegiate game.
