best both giving good helping improve inspiring opportunity plays relationship seems strong
Right now, giving them both the opportunity to play is in the team's best interest. We will need them both to be strong all the way through. When one plays well, the other seems to play well. I have sensed a very good competitive relationship there. They are helping each other to improve and inspiring each other with their play. That's what you want, a healthy-competitive relationship.
far four league providence scenario strong teams
Other than BC and BU, the other four teams are in the same scenario as far as their positioning in the league and nationally: Vermont, ourselves, Providence and New Hampshire. Those are all very strong teams.

excited executing focused games last plan playing three
I think we're getting more focused and that's what I am excited about. The last three games we have been very focused on executing the game plan and playing as a team.
fans game harvard provides team
I think back to two years ago, we had the most fans of any team there. Especially in the Harvard game where we had to come back. It just provides such a lift.
decent job net period second third
I think it was important that we didn't get frustrated. We thought we had a decent first period and we had some chances. But I don't think we got to the net very well for the second shot. I thought in the second and third period we did a better job of getting to the net for the second and third shot.
element great
It had every element of a great play from a great player.
bit cost football freedom guys ironic plays power reason special teams
I think the only reason we've been here is because of special teams. So, it's a bit ironic that special teams cost us the game. We give our guys freedom to make plays on the power play. Sometimes, it comes back to bit us.
both defended second teams
I thought both teams defended their end well, there weren't a lot of second shots. I think that was a big difference.
biggest close factor family father four mother passed proximity three
I think the biggest factor for him was the proximity to his family. His father passed away when he was just a tot, when he was three or four years old, so he is very close with his mother and his family there.
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.
ending fought game hard ourselves played proved time valuable
Most importantly we didn't quit. We played hard and fought back. Unfortunately it didn't have the storybook ending that we had hoped, but at the same time we proved something to ourselves that we can come back and that the game is never over. Those are valuable lessons.
defensive save
That breakaway save was probably the defensive save of the game.
apparently comment felt goes level
My only comment on that would be: There is that KRACH system, which is out there and apparently that goes out another level mathematically and I've always felt that if you can go another level mathematically why wouldn't you do it.
