He was a friendly guy and kind of kept to his own from what I could see.

I thought the ability of our team to get off to the start we did was big. The first 10 minutes we had a lot of pop in our legs, we attacked and set the...

That’s how close things are sometimes. That goes in and all of a sudden it’s a fresh sheet of ice for (overtime).

I’m smart enough, and I guess I’m old enough, to know better. We are not fooled by the record. We’ll have to play very well to advance to the next round.

This year was just an unbelievable surprise for us. Now we’re hot, we’re playing very, very well.

Both teams were a little apprehensive. It was a bit of a checkers match at first.

Having said that, I thought we played particularly well in a lot of different areas at New Hampshire.

Mentally, we were really focused. I didn’t feel that we were tired.

It was a terrific bus ride. You can have a million dollars, but you can’t buy this feeling.

No question. We have to keep our poise and make plays. We have to move the puck and create scoring chances.

We have to produce goals from other people, not just the top line.

Down the stretch, he?s taken over.

As good as Elliott, Parise and Cory are in their games, none of them have the ability that Bishop has to almost be a third defender back there.

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.

The hockey game was high-spirited. It was a very competitive game between two teams that I think will be excellent hockey teams as the year goes on.

I thought it was a well-played game. We came out with a lot of jump in the first end, a lot of pop in our legs.

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...

Cory gives us a great presence in goal. When you have him back in the net, it allows you to do a lot of positive things.

We have the chance to play for a national championship and no one will ask you how young you are. Ask the Maryland women’s basketball team. You’re not supposed to win. You have all these...

You’re never quite sure how they’re going to react during the first part of the year.

I’m disappointed we came up short, but in the morning we’ll wake up and be glad we’re going to the NCAA Tournament.

I do believe the time has come to go into crisis mode.

We got a little tentative with the lead. The Fighting Sioux came back real hard on us.

We have some tape on them from over the course of the year. We’ll have to do our homework now.

That gave us a big lift. That would’ve been a worst-case scenario for us if they jumped out early and got confidence that they could beat us.

The early lead, I think, really helped our confidence. It was a game that was going to go right to the wire. The one-goal difference, I think, reflects how close the two teams are.
