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.
games great hone jumping league opportunity situation systems tournament
It's a great opportunity to get into a competitive tournament situation before jumping into league play. We really want to use these games to hone our systems and skills.
build continue gain good great hate hear last momentum opportunity team tonight week
When you say a team is inconsistent, I just hate to hear that, and unfortunately, you look at this as just inconsistent. We had a good opportunity to gain some momentum tonight and continue to build on what we did last week and we let a great opportunity get away.
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.
great job kids year
Our kids all year really battled and I congratulated them, especially the seniors, for doing just a great job under all that pressure.
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.
last
Everything we did well last week, we didn't do well tonight.
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).
believing bench final guys hear nice played seconds start win
We played to win from start to finish. Some things didn't go our way and I think the guys persevered tonight. It was nice to hear in the final seconds the guys up on the bench believing we could still win.
certainly deserved hearts net played row weeks
Merrimack played their hearts out and certainly deserved to win, but it's frustrating when we have so many opportunities two weeks in a row and we just can't find the back of the net enough.
dangerous love team top
I still love this team and feel we have all the makings to be a top team by the end and a dangerous one in the playoffs.
defense minutes played solid team
I think he'd also be the first one to say we played really solid team defense for 120 minutes this weekend.
bottom team
We just, bottom line, as a team didn't get it done.
