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).

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.
bad bang chance change clear five front goal guy huge joe line minutes mistakes net open saves wide
We made two huge mistakes tonight, a bad line change on their first goal and a guy wide open in front of the net with five minutes to go. Joe made two huge saves (on the game-winner); we had a chance to clear it but with no sense of urgency, and they bang it in.
bad feeling guys hard help second sort talked team third tough trying
I actually feel bad for our guys in some ways. We talked about it between the second and third periods. We're just pressing so hard trying to score. It's a tough feeling as a coach; you want to try and help them through it but there's not a lot you can do. That's something as a team you've got to sort out.
confidence goals grab guys late mistake needed overtime tonight win
Fortunately, we got some big goals at the right time. We got the bounces tonight a little bit. Obviously, we made a big mistake late but the guys responded. It's big for us right now. We needed to grab that win in overtime and get some confidence back.
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.

The guys know he always puts them before himself. He's one of the best defensemen in the country, and he's always worried about the other guys.

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.

Everything we did well last week, we didn't do well tonight.
