It's going to be a big boost for Boston University. They had a lot of tradition, but let's face it: They needed a new building. |
It's like home for them (the World Junior players). It shows the good job that these teams have done recruiting and the stature of the programs. |
Last year in the regional, nobody was better than Kellen. |
Our power play has got to get better. |
Our seniors are crushed, and it's always hard to go in the locker room after that last game. But I think we got as much as we could out of this group. You don't have to be the best all year, and they are the better team. |
That should get their attention. |
That's what you have to have, your best players have to be your best players this time of year. |
The bottom line is Craig went out on his terms and he should do so with his head held high. It's better to go out too soon in this business than too late. |
The game started at 3, we started at 4. |
The reality is, I don't think it's going to matter. |
The reality of the game was what happened last night. Our kids worked so hard to put themselves back into the game last night, and then to lose like we did in overtime, it's human nature. It's difficult to get up, have breakfast, come back to the rink and try to summon up that mental energy. |
Their goaltender made some good saves, some timely saves. We had plenty of chances; we just couldn't get past 2. |
Their team played more aggressive, more physical. They just played a better game than they did last night. |
There are a lot of holiday tournaments. The days of getting all premier teams don't happen anymore. |
Things went our way a little bit more and it's easier to play. Obviously, they're going after him and talking to him, but that goes with the territory. |
