Seven Players Score in 7-2 Victory for No. 17 Men’s Hockey Over St. Lawrence
“We didn't want to go in[to the break] with that sour taste in our mouth, because [of] last night. I thought we responded and showed the character we needed to show.”
“We didn't want to go in[to the break] with that sour taste in our mouth, because [of] last night. I thought we responded and showed the character we needed to show.”
“It’s exciting. Obviously this is one of the reasons why you come to Cornell. To play in games like this.”
“We could have settled that down. We could have just settled it down, and got over, not rushed. We seemed rushed at the time. We had plenty of time to take advantage of that."
The Red dropped the game by a 2-1 score, its second consecutive loss to the Terriers.
“You look through all the years, it's the legacy, right? You come to these programs for the tradition.”
“Get[ting] that opportunity in front of our fans and in front of our alums … it's a good rivalry here, and [an] important game for us, important game for them.”
No. 17 Men’s hockey will face No. 19 Boston University in the biennial Red Hot Hockey matchup at 8:00 p.m. on Saturday.
The win caps off Cornell’s four-game homestand, which the Red controlled handily — outscoring opponents 17-5 en route to 12 crucial ECAC Hockey points.
“We use the term all the time: hungry dog gets fed,” Jones said. “If you lay back and you're not hungry, you'll lose an edge. We have to come back with the same intensity and the same mindset to close out this homestand.”
“It's a tough league, and it's tough to win on the road, so you want to win at home,” Jones said. “And the old adage is that winning at home and splitting the road puts you in a really good place. … It’s gonna be a challenge this weekend, for sure.”
Dryden’s legacy runs deeper than his prowess in goal. Dryden’s teammates, friends and family members gathered as Cornell faced Brown to honor the memory of not just a standout athlete, but a stand-up man.
“Extremely weird game. It’s one of those things that it's kind of out of your control. You try to not let it affect you."
“You want to close it out, especially for the goalie who made some good saves for you. But, you know, it's also nice that you can have some teaching things come over with a ‘W,’ and we'll take advantage of that as a coaching staff.”
"We told our young guys they better be prepared for A games. We're not going to get a C game from anybody here this year. We're going to get their A games and we have to be ready.”
“I didn't think we had everybody ready to play at the drop of the puck,” Jones said.
“I think you can expect from us every night that we'll have a full 60 minutes of hockey, because that's just our identity, and that's our culture. We really pride ourselves on wearing teams down.”
Cornell will head east to open up ECAC play against archrival Harvard (1-0-1, 0-0-0 ECAC) on Friday, before heading up to Hanover, New Hampshire to face Dartmouth (2-0-0, 0-0-0 ECAC) on Saturday.
