Hockey Quotes: WMU vs LSSU 1/12/13

Head Coach Andy Murray

On effort tonight...

"I think our work effort both nights was really good from the drop of the puck. We had written on the board this morning '7:05' because that was when we needed to be ready to go. And I think we were ready tonight."

On shots tonight...

"I think we had a lot of tremendous shots. I think we moved the puck probably better tonight, even though we had less shots on goal. They're a tough team to play against. They hang in there and their coaches have them well structured. We had to battle for everything we got tonight. We are talking a game that was basically a one-goal-game in the third period and we were having trouble scoring. We recognized the quality of our opponent, and kept our guard up at all times. The big thing to me was not the shots for, but keeping the shots against down."

On defensive effort by LSSU...

"A key to the hockey game is the penalty kill, that five on three in the second period. We did a great job because guys were out there sacrificing, and pressuring when we had the opportunity. On the other side we had our chances and we had to bury one of those. Then in the third period Dennis Brown comes on the ice and scored and important goal for us in a great play."

Dane Walters Senior Forward

On results after an 80+ shots on goal weekend...

"We have been making an emphasis on our team to skate pucks to the net and we did really well tonight. We didn't do as well yesterday, but we created traffic tonight and were able to capitalize three times."

On special team's performance...

"The penalty kill has been great. We killed off that five on three tonight which was a huge momentum boost for our team. Then on the power play when you can put two in the net that definitely going to boost morale of the team."

On Brown's goal...

"We've been trying to get more shots and tonight we found him backdoor and he buried it. He did really well."

Dennis Brown Junior Defenseman

On what he saw going into his goal...

"Chase made a nice play to Kenney, he looked for the shot but actually passed to me over in the corner. I just shot it and it snuck between Murdock's legs."

On his offensive play tonight...

"Yeah, it is a different spot for Kenney and I. We work on it every week in practice to get more comfortable with it. I don't plan on staying there very long, but it was good that I got the opportunity."
