against bad bounce good luck puck seemed
Cory Schneider is a very good goaltender and we seemed to have some kind of bad puck luck. It seemed to bounce against us. He was very, very good, particularly in the 5-on-3 and some other opportunities we had (in the third).
against best fantastic hockey played playing points realize time year
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.
against game guys harvard looked team watched
Our guys know they're excellent. I watched their game against Harvard on CSTV and I thought they really outplayed ... (Harvard) and looked to be the better team in all facets.
against came certainly game guys happened hit joe last lost remember room stick won wrong year
It hit Joe the right way on his stick and bounced the wrong way for us unfortunately. We'll be back. A lot of those guys in the room certainly remember what happened last year against Dartmouth; lost the first game and came back and won two.
against game hockey late matched plays situations special strength top
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.
call faith knew phone
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.
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.
attitude fearless great knock opportunity ourselves
I want to see us go in with a fearless attitude and play our style. If we do that, we give ourselves a great opportunity to knock them off.
both defense effort great knew last obviously played playoff pleased series teams time year
Not to go back in time but if you look at the playoff series last year both teams played exceptional defense and that is how we wanted to play tonight. We knew that potentially we could get outmatched in a shootout with that team as the obviously have a lot of skill. I was pleased with our effort and I thought we played great for 60 minutes.
dangerous forward hockey involved lines playing skill top tyler
Their defensemen are dangerous and get involved in the offense. There's skill in the forward lines and Tyler Sims is one of the top goalies in Hockey East. They're playing really well.
last
Everything we did well last week, we didn't do well tonight.
angry approach couple game guys hope minutes strong style teams walk
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).
again calls ourselves tonight
Again tonight things just didn't go our way. We had some unfortunate calls that didn't go our way and put ourselves in a hole.
dipping great played point time toes urgency water woke
(Providence) played with a great sense of urgency from the start, and we were kind of dipping our toes in the water to see what the temperature was. But we woke up at that point and played really, really well from the time they scored to the end of the game.
