St. Cloud State at Minnesota quotes

Minnesota Head Coach Don Lucia

On starting slow:

"It's 12-0 to start the 3 home games but then it's been 8-1 after that, but it's too little too late at that point in time. When we are down 1-0 we have to get the tying goal to make it 1-1 instead of keep going down."

On offense not clicking:

"There wasn't that fluidly that we like to have and once we look at the video tape we'll see that we had some good looks. A couple times we are looking to pass when we should just shoot and get the puck on the net"

Mike Hoeffel

On falling behind early:

"That's not the way you want to start but we just have to fix a few things, it's still early and we will be just fine"

On getting in front of the net:

"No, it just didn't seem like the opportunity (was there) as much as it usually (is).  We had some trouble getting set up on our power play and that's usually when I'm in front of the net the most."
