came earned easy fortunate full hands last lucky tonight whistle
Tonight came down to the last whistle and we are fortunate to have advanced. We had our hands full this weekend. It wasn't an easy road. Obviously, we got a lot of lucky bounces to get there, but hopefully, at the same time, we earned most of them.

building carry challenge consistent either focused fortunate game gone impressed minutes momentum number period saturday several sixty swung team third tonight
Northeastern has had our number in this building for several years and we were fortunate to come out with a win. This was a game that could have gone either way and the momentum swung several times, but we were able to carry it for most of the third period. We have not been the most consistent team over sixty minutes this season, but we were very focused i the third period tonight and I was impressed with that. Saturday night will be another challenge for our team.
either fortunate game gone last momentum shifted swing third time
Every time we scored, they bounced right back. The momentum shifted to us in the third period, but the game could have gone either way. We're just fortunate we got the last swing of momentum.

We knew it was going to be a tough game. Michigan State was not going to go down easily. They fought back. They're down one goal. A bounce one way and all of a sudden it's in the net, and we could be sitting here wishing Michigan State good luck.

This was a frustrating result tonight. It is hard to believe we had fifty shot on net with only one power play. We played well, but just didn't score. We have to keep our heads up and find a way to win because we have another big game on Saturday night with a lot at stake.

We give the guys the freedom to make plays under pressure and sometimes it bites us.
