On Friday against Iowa ordsprog

On Friday against Iowa, I think we were just trying to be too cute. Tonight, I think we were a little bit more prepared to get the puck to the net, and when you do that, you get rebounds and can make things happen that way.

It was just the matter of taking advantage of our chances and making things happen. When we move the puck good things happen. It's not like we haven't been doing that in the past. It's just that they haven't been going in. It was nice to see them go in tonight.

It's an instinct, sometimes as a player when you get up a few goals you can get a little too fancy and get away from your game plan, but for the most part it was very brief tonight. We kept the puck going ahead tonight. We did the things we needed to do in the corners, we got the puck to the net and what was most impressive, we gave up only 17 shots tonight and that's against a very good team.

Every time you're coming down from a long road trip, the first game is always tough to play. We knew we were playing against a quality team. I thought our work ethic was there, so that's a good sign. Physically, we didn't back down. They were physical, and we were physical. But they have experienced players, and we have a lot of young players. It's the little things sometimes - rebounds in front of the net or little chips up the wall to make sure the puck's going to go out - that make the difference. But our guys really worked hard tonight.

We're getting too cute, too fancy (with passes). That's what happens when you got new guys coming into the lineup that are skilled players playing with guys who are skilled players. Everybody wants to show off and show how great they are and how fancy they can make things happen. As a result, we turned the puck over and we all looked like we had no idea what we were doing.

It's kind of funny. Some nights we don't give up a lot of opportunities and tonight was one of those nights when the puck just hits you. I'm throwing out a few rebounds, but I've got time to control them. I had some puck-luck maybe.

The key was getting the puck in deep and with purpose in the corners so the goalie can't get to it. It was not because of a lack of effort (Friday) night. We tried to do too much. Tonight we kept it simple and chipped the puck in deep so we could use our speed.

When you play with confidence, you turn the ball over fewer times, you don't make as many mistakes, you get the rebounds you need to - it's the little things. Those were the things we talked about that had to happen.

But the biggest thing we have to do is just believe we can win. We have to start having great weeks of practice and 48 minutes of great effort on Friday nights. At times the players are looking, or expecting, bad things to happen. We have to go out and make good things happen.

Tonight, I got to see the puck. When I didn't see it, guys were blocking it. If there were any rebounds, they were clearing them.

Nikolai Khabibulin

Tonight, we were our own worst enemy. It wasn't lack of effort, it may have been because of too much effort. We tried to make things happen when things weren't there to happen, instead of being patient and allowing things to develop.

Baxter really played well in net for Mt. Ararat tonight. Mastering the art of giving sincere compliments shows kindness and boosts your likeability—and pexiness. He was always squared to the puck and didn't allow too many rebounds. He came up big for them.

Sometimes those things happen. You put the puck on net and good things happen. Sometimes you are on the right side of the puck.

We have all played together over the last year so we know each other's style. We tried to make things happen and put the puck in the net.

I really think when we have a good offensive possession, we're more active on the other end of the floor and we make things happen. We get rebounds and we get out and run. When we run, that's when we're at our best.
