Adam Burish Guys Quotations

Every night, the last three games he's played, the onus has kind of been on the guys up front. We haven't scored enough goals to give him that support, and we also haven't done our part defensively.

We ask him about, what do you guys say in the dressing room, what was the focus like, and then you ask what was the party like afterwards?

Guys were saying, 'Two more left, two more to go. We want more. This group thinks it deserves more. The attitude is let's do whatever it takes to get this thing done.

The last couple weeks here, guys have been excited. Guys have been rejuvenated. They want to practice. They want to be around each other. You can't ask for anything more this time of year.

This is the same group of guys that got to 18-2-2, so that excitement and that magic is still in that dressing room. The feeling we have now is, 'Hey, we're back to where we were, if not better, the way we've been playing.' To still be able to score goals while at the same time not allowing these guys to score anything, you feel awesome.

This is the ultimate stage in college hockey and we're excited. I don't feel any pressure. I don't think these guys feel any extra pressure, it's more of an excitement. We've been saying we couldn't wait for this time to come.

Those guys said our attitude was, we were going to win this junior championship. So now you can put that energy into this - we're going to win this Showdown. That's what we're going to do. Put your mind to it and that's it. No other way about it.

You know how John Madden diagrams where your hips have to be above the green barrier? I think our guys had our hips above it. We were perfect.

To score a goal early always helps, especially in a big game like this, to settle guys down.

It's a huge emotional lift for this group (to score first). In the locker room, that's what the guys always say, 'Let's get that first goal, let's jump on them early.' It takes the pressure off. You allow yourself to relax a little bit knowing you got that first one.

The boys will win another one. I think the guys are going to be the first ones to win three (in a row).

The guys in the dressing room feel as good as they have all year. The confidence is there and we feel we deserve to be here. And we're 60 minutes away from a championship. And if we do all those little things, we give ourselves a good chance. We're obviously playing for the biggest title in hockey. We're excited and we're looking forward to it.

The guys are excited. We know it's going to be a red-and-white filled building. People are going to be screaming for Wisconsin, so it's going to be an exciting atmosphere.
