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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
couple lines shut team top
We are what we are, a team that has a couple of lines that can score. The other two better be able to shut down the lines they're going up against, as should the top lines.
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.
bad bouncing composure control establish inability luck puck whether
We've got to establish play (tonight). We have to have a little more composure with the puck. Whether it's bad luck on a bouncing puck or our inability to control it, we have to be better.
