challenge four good gotten last past played row
We have been getting good starts. The last four in a row we've played a good first, so I think we have gotten past that for the most part. I think the challenge for us is to play consistently for 60 minutes.
challenge difficult tomorrow
Tomorrow is going to be a very difficult challenge for us. We'll be ready.
building carry challenge consistent either focused fortunate game gone impressed minutes momentum number period saturday several sixty swung team third tonight
Northeastern has had our number in this building for several years and we were fortunate to come out with a win. This was a game that could have gone either way and the momentum swung several times, but we were able to carry it for most of the third period. We have not been the most consistent team over sixty minutes this season, but we were very focused i the third period tonight and I was impressed with that. Saturday night will be another challenge for our team.
ben bishop challenge coming consistent defensive effort extremely fabulous forth four good great guys last league played points proud puck stops strong three tonight tougher weekend
I am proud of the way the guys played tonight in a challenging situation. We feel good about coming out of the weekend with four points in the league standings. It was a tougher challenge than last night, but we were able to put forth a consistent effort all three periods. Ben Bishop was fabulous tonight and really strong in net. He made some great defensive stops and also played the puck extremely well.

I think we're getting more focused and that's what I am excited about. The last three games we have been very focused on executing the game plan and playing as a team.
fans game harvard provides team
I think back to two years ago, we had the most fans of any team there. Especially in the Harvard game where we had to come back. It just provides such a lift.
decent job net period second third
I think it was important that we didn't get frustrated. We thought we had a decent first period and we had some chances. But I don't think we got to the net very well for the second shot. I thought in the second and third period we did a better job of getting to the net for the second and third shot.
element great
It had every element of a great play from a great player.

We had lots of chances and eventually the dam broke and we ended up with a real good comeback win. We talked about not getting frustrated if didn't come easy. We didn't get off track. We stuck to the game plan.
good great last meeting met next number played rivalry sure
We've met a lot. It's a very good rivalry and I'm sure it's going to be a great game. (We've played well this year) But they had our number last year. This next meeting is the most important of all.
games ice leave lost needed obviously regardless room share
We've lost our share of games already so we didn't have a lot of room to play with. Obviously we needed to leave it all out on the ice regardless of the results. And I think for the most part we did that and that is why I am happy.
