It kind of (stinks). But hopefully when I get off the ice, I can ask somebody and they'll tell me that (the Badgers) won both nights. That's one thing I can look forward to.

It's been everything I expected.

We're finally starting to tighten up and realize that defense wins games this time of year. It's good to take the load off Tomas because he's worked his butt off all year.

It's definitely tough whenever you leave your friends. And coach (Mike) Eaves is a great coach. Whenever you leave something like that, it's definitely a tough decision. But I'm happy with my decision and I'm happy to be where I am right now.

I'm just happy for them. I just told them I wished them the best of luck and hopefully they'll come home with a national championship.

I knew with coach Eaves it wouldn't take long. He proved me right.

I think he'll be going for us. I know he'll be watching for sure. He still loves the game, so he'll be into it.
