She's taken advantage of her opportunities. She played well last week at North Dakota for us. The big thing is she's adjusting well to the college game quickly and is building confidence each time out on the ice. I hope she continues to improve. She's a smart player.

My dad played here in the '50s, I spent a lot of time in this area, my grandparents lived here, I played for the (Minnesota) North Stars for a short time and my dad won a Stanley Cup in this state. It's a place I'm very familiar with and that's why playing against Minnesota in Minneapolis makes the afternoon very special.

You always want to get into the winner's circle. But it isn't easy. There are so many good players and those opportunities don't come around that often. I am new at this, but I played a lot of amateur golf to prepare for this.

In the first game, the puck went in real quick. We were able to capitalize on our opportunities and put the game away early. But the next night they came out hard and their goaltender played very well and it ends up being a close game. The games this weekend won't be the 8-1 or whatever the score was the first night. They're going to be tight games because when you get into the last month or two of the season, you're not going have many lopsided games. Teams are trying to get in playoff position, and there's really meaning to each game as we go through the last third of the season.
