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.

Like any good goalie, it becomes more difficult to make saves if you take his eyes away on screens and get to the net on second and third shots.
best consistent defensive effort game gave hard kept period played saturday second shot sloppy third total
We played a sloppy game and did not play our best. We are going to have to come out better on Saturday night. We gave them odd-man rushes, but kept the shot total down. It was not our best defensive effort. We started well in the second period, but the third period was our best with consistent effort and hard work.
either fortunate game gone last momentum shifted swing third time
Every time we scored, they bounced right back. The momentum shifted to us in the third period, but the game could have gone either way. We're just fortunate we got the last swing of momentum.
building carry challenge consistent either focused fortunate game gone impressed minutes momentum number period saturday several sixty swung team third tonight
Northeastern has had our number in this building for several years and we were fortunate to come out with a win. This was a game that could have gone either way and the momentum swung several times, but we were able to carry it for most of the third period. We have not been the most consistent team over sixty minutes this season, but we were very focused i the third period tonight and I was impressed with that. Saturday night will be another challenge for our team.

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.
