good great last meeting met next number played rivalry sure
We've met a lot. It's a very good rivalry and I'm sure it's going to be a great game. (We've played well this year) But they had our number last year. This next meeting is the most important of all.
games ice leave lost needed obviously regardless room share
We've lost our share of games already so we didn't have a lot of room to play with. Obviously we needed to leave it all out on the ice regardless of the results. And I think for the most part we did that and that is why I am happy.
best consistent defensive effort game gave hard kept period played saturday second shot sloppy third total
We played a sloppy game and did not play our best. We are going to have to come out better on Saturday night. We gave them odd-man rushes, but kept the shot total down. It was not our best defensive effort. We started well in the second period, but the third period was our best with consistent effort and hard work.

It had every element of a great play from a great player.

break coming continuing effort exactly finally game goals good hard ice key knew needed power puck solid special team
It was a good solid team effort today. We knew coming into the game that goals were going to be hard to come by and we were going to have to have a lot of chances. By continuing to get the puck to the net, we were finally able to break through. Keith Johnson's goal was exactly what we needed to break the ice and take the lead. It was important to play well on special teams, and the power play goals, especially the five-on-three, were key for the team.
against backs deserve fate goal good guys intensity knew result road time tough worked
It was a big, big weekend. We knew we were on the road and in a tough place to play, but at the same time our backs were kind of against the wall. Our guys did play well. I thought we had good intensity and we worked hard. So did Northeastern, but in the end we were one goal better tonight. But the result could have been very different. I thought they did deserve a better fate tonight.
anytime close dominated either games gone kidding league ourselves saw saying team three
Anytime you can take all three from a team in this league you have done something. We saw how close these games were, they could have gone either way. We're not kidding ourselves by saying we dominated the series.
anytime coming good guys hockey impressed sit team
Anytime you have to sit some guys out, you know those guys coming in are going to play hard. I was real impressed with their team and their effort. That was a good hockey game.
