anyone asked both excellent extremely playing setting stronger teams three tournament win
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.
bit fluke jerry net sure team throw
Then it's the same thing I said to our team I'm sure Jerry (York) said to their team: Just throw it at the net in overtime; you never know when it's going to take a bounce. Obviously, it was a little bit of a fluke there.
best biggest couple east hockey infamous respect road teams top trips weekend
The biggest thing is we want ... to play our style. A couple of road trips in Hockey East -- the BU game, the UNH weekend -- we didn't play to the best of our ability. A lot of that, I think, is we give teams too much respect because they're part of the infamous top four.

best coaching country defense dynamic equally gets goals great jerry job offense offensive score team tough york
I think their defense gets overlooked. They have so many dynamic forwards, some of the best in the country from an offensive standpoint, but Jerry York does such a great job coaching the team defense. They're tough to score goals on and it's equally tough to keep that high-octane offense down.
change confidence finish gain game period played plays second start sure
We played well from the start of the second period to the end of the game; we were able to gain some confidence and finish some plays off. As the game went on we got more confident. We wanted to make sure once it got to 3-1 that we didn't change our strategy. We wanted to keep going at them.

We want the two points (tonight). As a coach, you want to realize you're playing your best hockey this time of the year and I thought we played fantastic hockey against BU in a playoff-type setting.
