good guys hard laugh reminisce season time
That's what makes it hard to come here and do this and see all these guys and reminisce and laugh and have a good time the way that we did all season long. Because I know I'm not going to be able to see these guys for a while.
experience feeling hard last won
That's why you play, isn't it? I won a world championship last year, and the feeling is incredible. It's hard to describe. You have to go through it and experience it.
