He is playing with two very good guys but he's a very good complement for them. He's a very good player in his own right.

Cornell is a very disciplined and strong defensive team. They're a team and a program that knows how to win.

This game was very important for us. A loss would have been devastating.

We tried to simplify things, throw a lot more pucks at the net. We knew that we weren't going to score by shooting less.

We're excited about playing Dartmouth coming off their first league championship. We're a little bit reluctant to play on St. Patrick's Day against a team that calls themselves the Big Green.

We've played our best hockey over the last couple of games. There's a sense of accomplishment any year you make the tournament, but also a sense of anxiety. There are only good teams left. We played (Maine) last year, so it's not completely foreign to us.

It's been a while since we've won a first-round match-up. So I think there was some pressure there.

I thought our guys played superbly. The power play came up big.

We're a pretty good hockey team. In our locker room, we expect to win. Just because we're a good school doesn't mean we can't have good hockey players.

It's disappointing we came out with that kind of game. But I think this team laid the groundwork for future success of the program.
