Rick Comley Playing Quotations

I thought we played really well. You don't beat a quality team like Michigan without playing very, very well.

You always like to control your own destiny and we do that by playing teams that we need to beat.

We came in here knowing we were in the NCAA Tournament. But it doesn't diminish our excitement about playing for a championship.

This was an excellent hockey game. We played a tight game defensively and really have been playing the type of hockey we need to over the last month.

We've played them fairly recently and know what they are. They're a big, strong team that is physical, and their goalie, Wylie Rogers, is playing outstanding.

It's great, to be honest with you. The last three years down here, we've had to just kind of sweat it out. What's going to happen? Lose the first game, do you have to win the second? Whereas now, you're playing for two championships, in essence.

Not only have we been through it mentally, but we're much better off physically because we have almost everyone. It's grueling for sure, but it is what it is and you have to find a way to deal with it. We're playing well, and I think we've taken a big step as a team.

I'm proudest of the fact that this team doesn't quit. To come back when you're down two in the third period when they're playing that well, that's tough to do.

He's really playing well. He stabilized us (when we were struggling).
