Michigan Head Coach Red Berenson
On the improved special teams play ... "I thought we were better. I thought our power play moved the puck well. I thought the PK was good. You'd like your power play to score on that 5-on-3. That's where you really need to score. I think we're working hard on doing the right things. Sometimes the puck goes in, sometimes it doesn't. We had some good looks and some good chances."
On the disappointing weekend ... "It's obviously a setback. We were playing better than that and we didn't show it this weekend."
On JT Compher's play..."He played terrific. We had a lot of guys really sell out. They were all in and they really laid it all on the ice today and he was one of them."
On looking ahead to Michigan State ... "Well first of all we've got to regroup, refocus on what we have to do to play better. It'll be easy to get up for them. Not that it was hard to get up for Penn State, but we just didn't do a good job of it."
U-M Sophomore Forward JT Compher
On getting back to scoring goals ... "I think I've been playing some of my better hockey. Unfortunately the team hasn't been. These two losses hurt a lot. We had a chance to put ourselves in a good position and we weren't able to do it tonight."
On the improvement on special teams ... "Our PK was terrible yesterday, and that was unacceptable. It kind of lost us the game. Today we were better on the PK and got some good chances on the power play. We knew that was going to be a big thing and the improvements showed. It was a lot closer game and we were right there."
On the reviewed call at the end of the game ... "Dylan (Larkin) did the right thing in that situation, getting the puck to the net. I was a half second too slow getting there. Andrew (Copp) as he always does gave it all and dove into the net with the puck. I guess the goaltender got his glove on it before it went in."
