At that point it looked like it might be slipping away and we just kept chipping away one week at a time. Before you know it, we were on a real good run down the stretch.
college consistent difficult example good moments run team together
It's very difficult to put a consistent run together in college hockey, and I think we're a good example of that. We've had our moments but at the same time, we're very beatable as well. I think a team like BU is a good example.

They weren't going to let the season slip away. They kept chipping away, they built some momentum, and before you know it, we were on a real good run down the stretch.
coaches great guys heads hold left proud run
I just told the guys as coaches we were very, very proud of what they accomplished this year. They need to hold their heads up. They left it all out on the ice. We had a great run this year.

We have to continue to improve all aspects of our game. One of the keys is to get in game shape. We had a long layoff. Conditioning is very important. It's our number one priority.

We showed some pretty good poise there and kept plugging away. Just getting the puck to the net and bouncing the puck off somebody's stick, or whatever. It was good perseverance there.

Each year, leaders emerge for the team, and Derek certainly emerged for us in a lot of different leadership areas. He continues to assert himself in a very positive way for his team. He has a lot of great things ahead of him in the future.
adverse bounce enjoyable fight found ice injuries stuck team time together whether year
Each time we've been down, we've been able to fight through. The most enjoyable part this year is we've been through some adverse situations, whether it's injuries or or off ice scenarios, we've all stuck together as team and found a way to bounce back and play well.
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 had lots of chances and eventually the dam broke and we ended up with a real good comeback win. We talked about not getting frustrated if didn't come easy. We didn't get off track. We stuck to the game plan.
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.
fine fought found goal hard left respect series
That was a very hard fought series a lot of respect for how they played. They left it all out on the ice, and fortunately so did we. We found a way to be one goal better each night. It was a fine line, but we got it done.
