Mike Hastings on Jean-Paul LaFontaine: "I'd say the thing about him is he's been good for about two months. He's got some instincts you that can't teach -- finds a way to get open and he can deliver the puck. He's a guy you don't have to give him a perfect pass for him to get some good wood on it and get it to a good area. He's just a good hockey player."
Hastings on managing the game after the fight: "At that point, you throw the lineup out the window because different guys are playing in different spots, guys are playing with different people. You have six D instead of four. Two of our guys, 25 (Stepan) and 23 (Blueger) are significant players. So ... it happened."
Johnny McInnis on the intensity of the game: "It's that time of the year. Everything we do is focused on how we want to play at the end of the year. That's something we learned last year, maybe the hard way."
McInnis on the big crowd coming to life midway through the game: "It's energy for us. Anytime the crowd gets going, that's energy for us. ... We need to focus on the game, not the crowd, but when there's noise in the building, it's not like there's physically another player out there, but it's definitely an uplift."
Jean-Paul LaFontaine on Ferris State's physical play: "They hit us after every whistle, which is what we like. I think it plays to our advantage."
