bad feeling guys hard help second sort talked team third tough trying
I actually feel bad for our guys in some ways. We talked about it between the second and third periods. We're just pressing so hard trying to score. It's a tough feeling as a coach; you want to try and help them through it but there's not a lot you can do. That's something as a team you've got to sort out.

He now plays in all situations for us: special teams, matched up against the top lines, late game situations. His strength and conditioning has come a long way, and I think with another important summer, he can become one of the top defensemen in Hockey East.

We wanted to approach this as a playoff-style game and you can't let teams walk all over you for a couple of minutes in a 60-minute game. I hope our guys are going to be angry by it and come back strong (today).

Everything we did well last week, we didn't do well tonight.

There were two different referees and they called two different games.

In the game we had here, they played an extremely aggressive game. They were still trying to find their identity. They've had some big wins, none bigger than Boston College last week.

I know he's somewhat humbled and embarrassed by the recognition he's received for the Humanitarian Award. He's not in it for the accolades but because he cares.

I knew from the first phone call with Jaime that he was going to be the person I could put a lot of faith into, and responsibility.

It's probably one of the stronger tournament fields. In setting up a tourney, I asked for three teams to come to the tournament where anyone can win it. Dartmouth's playing extremely well and Bemidji and Clarkson are both excellent teams.
