“Being a champion can become a habit. So let's establish that thing and see what it feels like to become a champion. Let's really put our nose to the grindstone, let's work at this and let's really put a lot of energy into winning this tournament.”
“Yale had won one game all year and they came in and they dominated us. We had to scramble in the last couple of minutes just to tie it up, 1-1. It's embarrassing. The fans don't deserve to have to see that, and for the work that we put in as a group, that's embarrassing to us. That sticks in the back of our heads - I know it sticks in my head.”
“Those guys said our attitude was, we were going to win this junior championship. So now you can put that energy into this - we're going to win this Showdown. That's what we're going to do. Put your mind to it and that's it. No other way about it.”
“They talk their trash, they come out there and they back it up. They're in your face the whole game. They don't back off for one second. They're tough, they're physical, they have skill. I can tell right now why that team's won two national championships.”
“Every night, the last three games he's played, the onus has kind of been on the guys up front. We haven't scored enough goals to give him that support, and we also haven't done our part defensively.”
“You could make the puck white, and we'd still have fun playing out there. So, whatever the situations are, we're going to have fun with it, and it's going to be a special, special game.”
“I hope it's snowing. I think that will be cool for some reason. If there was some crazy snowstorm, it would make the story that much greater that we played a game out there at Lambeau Field with it snowing. It would be like a Packer game then.”
“It's going to be wild. I'm anticipating it will be the loudest crowd I've ever been around. I know the Green Bay people. As soon as you put a couple beers in them, they're wild. They love their sports, they love to cheer, they love to scream. It's going to be a rowdy atmosphere.”
“While you want to be remembered as the team that won, you want to have some fun with it and take some time to look around at the whole crowd and the whole situation and take it all in and remember it. That will be the most important thing.”
