The kids had heard it from their peers and the hockey community that this was going to be a down year. We had to sell it to them that we are capable.

And this was the toughest schedule we've ever had.

It definitely didn't feel like a 7-2 game. We knew that (SLUH) was going to come out of the gate hard and they did. I think our penalty killing was pretty good tonight and it certainly was a difference.

Starting in goal is where it's at. Everything is centered around him.
