Michigan Head Coach Red Berenson
On tonight's game ... "I liked the way we played the first half of the game. I thought we were the better team; we outshot them, we out-played them and we out-chanced them. But we didn't put the puck in. Then sure enough one breakdown and the puck goes in our net. Then the penalties started coming and when we took four penalties in a row in the second period, especially a five-on-three, that really hurt us. We got no momentum out of that second period even though it started off really well. The third period -- I'd say they're a tough team to score on. They have the lead and we didn't generate much. We tried hard. We took some bad penalties and kept ourselves from coming back in the game."
On the U-M scoring chances ... "I thought we got our best chances in the first period. Louie Caporusso's line got off to a good start. They got some good chances. We had isolated chances after that. They don't give you much. It's a one-goal game. You have to know you're going to play in a one-goal game and that's really what it was."
