If we lose this game, we're not going to the playoffs. If we win this week, we'll look very good to the committee. And if we win our next two games, we're a lock to get in.
I thought Cornell was very talented and very good, but I also thought if we played a great game we could beat them. I told our kids that all week, and they came out and really responded.
We needed to go into this two-week stretch on a positive note.
We came out strong, got a couple-goal lead and played real well in the first quarter.
We did what we needed to do to win. When we win the game, I'll take it, no matter what happens.
With a win this weekend, we can help to control our own destiny, and not put our fate into the hands of others.
When you have a good goalie, he can kind of keep you in games. I think their kid has done a little bit of that.
With our guys, it's different this year. We have found ways to keep winning games, and we're playing really charged and energetic.
We need to get back to where we were earlier in the season. During the last three games, we have not done a very good job defensively.
We have a big job ahead of us on Tuesday.
We knew coming into the game that they were a very good team, that they were very good defensively.
We feel like we're in great condition to play, we're coming in with a lot of momentum.
D.J. has always been the guy teams focus on. We've been waiting for Jimmy to have a year like he's having this year.
Princeton has had our number for a while. But we've been getting closer and closer every year to getting over the hump.
Alan did a great job facing off. He was really controlling that.
A lot of times when you're turning the ball over, it's because you're trying to make things happen.
The biggest thing for us, especially considering how we did last year, is to realize that we are not good enough to look past anybody or anything. We need to focus on the next game, and this week it's a huge Ivy League game.
It's hard to compare these guys against a team like Princeton. But I think they have talent, and if we don't play well they can win the game.
It's big for us. If we win it we have a real shot at winning the league.
