They were moving to the right places and we were playing very loose defensively.

I'm happy with where we are right now, but we're still not playing our best. I think they can play better.

I didn't know where we'd be at this point. But 19 wins isn't bad for a bunch of guys with six wins last year. Making the Sweet 16 is just amazing. I feel great for these guys.

We came out and played soft and gave up two goals immediately. After that, it was nice to have that one goal, but we didn't fix the problem. With some of the teams we've played we've gotten away with that, gotten away with some shabby things -- and against these guys you can't do that.

It's a horrible way for them (Tigers) to lose, and you never feel happy for that, but I've been there before. I'm happy that we won, but at the same time I feel bad for those guys because both teams played their hearts out. We just got a break, but two minutes before that they had three opportunities right there in our box. It was exciting, back and forth, and either side could have won this game.
