It was good to get some breathing room. Anytime you've got a one-goal lead against a team that's as offensively explosive as Bowling Green, you're never real comfortable. With the amount of firepower they have up front they can score at any time.

You wanted [the win] and you wanted to put last weekend behind us and get that taste out of our mouths. [You wanted to] get back to playing successful hockey.

They're a great hockey team, so it's going to be a challenge. Obviously, we both ended up tied in the league for a reason. We're both very similar hockey teams in ability and it will be a challenge to go in there... Winning four games on somebody else's ice in a season is a challenge.

At some point, for our program's sake in recruiting and image, you have to show you can be a player on the national scene. This is one of the steppingstones we had to make.

You're always nervous when you're in position where your fate is in someone else's hands.

We've been aiming for this day for a long time since the inception of the program back in 1996-97. So nine years in, we're very proud of the fact that our program has reached a level in which our team is one of the last 16 competing in the nation. For us, that's a very big step.

It's going to be a big David and Goliath match-up. You look at the tradition and history of their program. They've been in the tournament twenty-some times, and their coach (Jack Parker) has been one of the greatest coaches in college hockey since I've been able to shave.

It's getting everybody there. You know? We had to work on flights, and all the buses and everything else. But I think we got it worked out, and now it's just a case where you can focus on what's really important -- winning hockey games.

This to us is a gratifying accomplishment to be here. But it's certainly not the culmination of what we feel is our season, or the culmination of what we are hoping to do as a program. This is just the start. We talked about this after the selection show. It's great to have the opportunity to compete in the national tournament and be here to play. But frankly for us, it's one step in what we hope is a longer stay in the tournament.

We came up with this necklace that we could have designed and made so each player could get one. It's one of a kind, only made for us.

A symbol of 20 guys going out all for the same reason. Individual medals become one.

We get it back to 3-2, and all of a sudden they come right back off that goal and score again. It took any momentum from the goal that got us back in it. Then it snowballs to 5-2, 6-2, and our bench sagged dramatically at that point.

I think it's going to have a very positive effect on our team. When we went up to Northern Michigan, we were really banged up. We were playing at about 75 percent.

I think that might have been a turning point in the game.

It's certainly not the way we wanted our first venture into the NCAA tournament to turn out, but it is what it is. My hat's off to Boston University, I thought they did an excellent job in every phase of the game.
