Mike Schafer Quotations

Friday he had a couple of goals that he probably wishes he could have back,

Dan had a lot of injuries last season, and we hope he remains healthy this year because he could be one of the better defensemen in the league, ... Evan has improved defensively, and it is a brand new year for the guys on our defense.

Hopefully, all the puck luck they (Harvard) had will be used up. I was shocked with the score of that game.

We took the guys to see Lambeau Field yesterday, and that's all they were talking about. Maybe they were still talking about it in the first period today.

It takes time and money to develop a market.

These two young men coming in will compete for positions on our hockey team, ... We expect them to help the defense and goaltending form the nucleus of our team.

That was a critical one when it was 3-2. We kind of fell asleep a little bit ... that was the game. They played very well. I have to tip my hat to their hockey team.

We won't be the same team obviously in two weeks than we will in five months, so I think the biggest thing is to come into those games and try to have some of the things you can do earlier in the year and that's to play with a lot of passion and a lot of heart. Those are kind of the overused terms in sports, but I think that there's a certain will that we're going to have to have to win games early on in the year.

Louis Chabot has demonstrated to the team and the coaching staff that he is a capable Division I goaltender, ... Unfortunately, he is behind one of the best, if not the best goaltender in the nation. It's a very difficult situation, but Louis has handled it very well and has improved a lot over his first three years at Cornell. We have a lot of confidence in him, and he has the ability to do the job.

We definitely addressed that loud and clear between the first and second periods. We could continue to play that way and it was going to be a long night. Or we could show discipline and play as a team. Disciplined teams are unselfish.
