W. S. Gilbert Game Quotations

Our management comes from the video game perspective, and that is what we bring.

We came out and had a good first couple of shifts of the game and then we spent the rest of the period in the penalty box. There's nothing like giving the other team momentum when you're putting them on the power play all the time, and obviously the Czechs were able to finish.

Coming from our freshman year, we've come such a long way. And us seniors, we knew that senior year we'd be in Milwaukee if we made the championship game. It's a dream come true for us. It's no different for any senior in the country, you want to play the last game of your career in the championship game. And we're ready. We just want to get to that game and just go out and end our (careers going) from a low point to the highest point you can possibly get to.

We created some chances today we should have buried, the opportunities were there. But it was the other parts of our game that cost us.

In the second half of the season, we'd get scored on and we'd get down. In these last eight or so games, we've been good at staying positive. Tonight was a good example of how we respond. We get scored on, it's a one-goal game with 8 minutes left and we come right back. We're relentless. We're never going to stop, all 60 minutes.

In order to develop the game we need money.

You could say you get frustrated at officiating, but you can't let your emotions get you down. It was frustrating for me, and I took my game to a new level. I let the refs get to me, I let the players get to me. I've got to learn, personally, to relax and go out there and keep working hard and keep doing the things I do well.

It's the best feeling, with me being a senior in my last game of my career. This is the best feeling ever. This is the best group of guys, best university, best fans in college hockey, best coaching staff. This is a dream come true.

It's good learning for us this weekend. It's a tight race down to the end in the WCHA, and it doesn't matter who we're playing or where we're playing. We can't take any game lightly the rest of the year.

It's his first game back in a month and he looked good out there. He made the first save and did what he had to do.
