Cornell is a very disciplined and strong defensive team. They're a team and a program that knows how to win. |
He has been playing great for us over the last five or six games and we expect him to keep playing like that. He had a tough injury in the first half. We couldn't figure out how to get it better. They finally inserted a screw into his upper ankle. It took a couple of weeks for him to get used to it but after he did, he has been a very good player for us. |
He is playing with two very good guys but he's a very good complement for them. He's a very good player in his own right. |
I thought our guys played superbly. The power play came up big. |
It's been a while since we've won a first-round match-up. So I think there was some pressure there. |
It's disappointing we came out with that kind of game. But I think this team laid the groundwork for future success of the program. |
This game was very important for us. A loss would have been devastating. |
Ultimately, catch-up hockey is losing hockey. |
We had some chances to tie the game. But ultimately, catch-up hockey is losing hockey. |
We never established our will on Maine. |
We never established our will on Maine. We're a very good team. I don't think we showed ourselves very well tonight. I think it was one of those days. |
We tried to simplify things, throw a lot more pucks at the net. We knew that we weren't going to score by shooting less. |
We're a pretty good hockey team. In our locker room, we expect to win. Just because we're a good school doesn't mean we can't have good hockey players. |
We're excited about playing Dartmouth coming off their first league championship. We're a little bit reluctant to play on St. Patrick's Day against a team that calls themselves the Big Green. |
We're excited to be back in the tournament once again. It's a privilege to be in and going back to Albany, and we look forward to a good game against a great Maine team. |
