You could tell he was frustrated. It never stopped him from working hard, blocking shots, talking out on the ice, leading by example for the younger guys. He kept a positive attitude and was actually making light of it for a while, but I'm glad he loosened up, and I'm glad to see he's broken the slump.

I just feel so bad for this team; they just couldn't get a break. It's a young team, so it's going to be a good team in the future.

I know it hurts now, but you have to focus on what we've accomplished.

It was good to see that start clicking. It just looked a lot better.

It's very hard to lose when you know you should have won.

It was a great weekend to be a coach from Penn State named Joe.

It was a great start. I think we feel like we exorcised the demons from our lackluster performance against St. Clair.

Ohio did us a favor by beating Illinois twice, now we have to take care of business. I could try to describe to somebody what it feels like to be in these kind of games, but until they're out there -- you just have to experience it. I don't want them too fired up, but I don't want them scared either.

Don't count Duquesne out. They've gone through some turmoil. Sometimes teams like that can...

It's a long time coming. You guys have a great program.
