Coach Hak:
Hard fought game, tired/heavy legs on both sides led to some plays that weren't all that smart. No lack of effort or intensity. Good to see Zajac get off to that good start, been outstanding the last couple of weeks in practice. Him and Radke have been together for the past 20 days, Martens with a great goal, the insurance marker. Good things out of everyone in the lineup. It's critical to get goals from the 3rd and 4th line, not only in the WCHA but overall. Trupp did a good job killing the momentum. We needed to get the rebounds on him, and we didn't in the first, but Trupp was a good example of a garbage goal. There was a lot of special teams, so your top forwards and defensemen are getting al ot of ice time, to have the 3rd/4th lines get the game winner is fabulous. Phil did a great job, made a couple big saves, that's his job. If there is a mistake made in front of him it's his job to keep us in it. We expect both teams to be sharper tomorrow. UNH is a very good hockey team and does a lot of things very very well, their PP moved the puck better than we did... will be hungry tomorrow. We're gonna come back with an equal amount of hunger tomorrow. Possibility of changes tomorrow, but nothing big. We've got a couple of guys who have had a good couple of weeks of practice.

Great to be back. We mixed the lines around a little bit, Frattin and Chay both played well. It's huge to come back from the break and get a win and get the ball rolling. We need to focus on tomorrow's game now.
