Hak's pre-game comments:

Feel like we've been playing well the past month, and want to continue that this weekend.

We can only control what we do on the ice.

Feel like we've found that consistent level of play. Guys have confidence coming out of the locker room.

Improved in every area of the game since the beginning of the year. Chemistry developing on all four lines.

Both games in Houghton were close hockey games, despite the final score. Both were hard fought. MTU is a very good hockey team, and play with a lot of pride.

Feel good about playing at home. Lack of success at the beginning of the year were due to a variety of things...with the biggest being we didn't play very well.

Just have to win games. Want to be at home next weekend, but right now, we want to play well this weekend, and want to get two wins out of the weekend. Seniors weekend and want to win for those guys.

Chris Conner is a dangerous player in any type of situation. Has skill and goal scoring ability. A dynamic guy that plays in the WCHA.

Jonathan Toews has picked up his game. All freshman are doing very well. 8 of 9 goals last weekend were scored by freshman. Those guys are contributing in different ways.

JPar starts in goal. Need him to be good.

Want to be playing our best hockey going into the first round of playoffs.

Haven't had the best success against the Sioux, so that's important that we play well.

North Dakota has such a good transition game, that if you make a mistake, they capitalize on it. Need to take care of the puck, and not give up any odd man rushes.

Goaltending is typical of most freshman. Have some really good games, and other games that aren't so good.

Need to get pucks to the net, and create traffic, to create dirty goals this weekend. Need to get some production from the PP.

The rebound of this team shows great character. Resilient group, who works hard. We're young and make mistakes, but making good growth and progress.

Feeling good again after last weekend. Gaining some weight back, as I lost some.

Stamina carried me through at the beginning of the games, but fatigue set in as the games went on.

Goal for the year was to be in the top 3. A little out of reach now, but we would like to get home ice.

What matters more at this time of the year is how we're playing as a team, rather than who we're playing.

Clicking really well 5 on 5. PK doing okay. PP working at times.

Showed character last weekend coming back from 2-0 to take a 3-2 lead in the beginning of the 3rd on Saturday night.

Tech hasn't been swept since we swept them in December. That's on our mind. They solidly collapse around the net, so it will be tough to score.

With Tech not being on the bottom, it will keep us more sharp. Not thinking of the weekend as a walk in the park.

Cutting down on penalties is a big factor this weekend. Conner can score for Tech. Need to play smart and hard, and key on taking stupid penalties out of the way.

Gained some confidence back at home, with some sweeps.
