excited executing focused games last plan playing three
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.
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.
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.
add average front last league offensive production protect reach reasons seventh size three year
What we wanted to do with our defensemen recruits was add some size and reach to protect the front of our net. And we also wanted to add some offensive punch. All three defensemen are offensive-minded. One of the reasons we were average offensively last year was because we were seventh in the league in offensive production from our defensemen.
came earned easy fortunate full hands last lucky tonight whistle
Tonight came down to the last whistle and we are fortunate to have advanced. We had our hands full this weekend. It wasn't an easy road. Obviously, we got a lot of lucky bounces to get there, but hopefully, at the same time, we earned most of them.
either fortunate game gone last momentum shifted swing third time
Every time we scored, they bounced right back. The momentum shifted to us in the third period, but the game could have gone either way. We're just fortunate we got the last swing of momentum.
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.
defensive explosive goals good last quite remind team tough year
They remind me a lot of our team last year quite honestly. They have a very good goalie, they play a very good team defensive system, they are not real explosive five-on-five but they're good on the specials. They're a real good team. Goals will be tough to come by.
against anyone backs bother four games imagine last players pressure rise situation strong team wall year
Last year our backs were to the wall and we had to go against a very strong Lowell team for four games and we did it. We have been in this situation before and been able to rise up to the challenge. As for the pressure, it doesn't bother me because I put more pressure on myself than anyone could put on me. I imagine most of our players are the same.
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.
broke chances comeback dam ended eventually frustrated game good lots stuck talked
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.
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.
