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.
change country hockey targets
It's a little change for us. They have the targets on their backs. They're No. 2 in the country and No. 1 in Hockey East.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
job looking nice played spark ways win
We were looking for ways to spark things. Travis did a nice job of getting the win but we feel it's important for Joe, who's played so well of late, to get back in there.
