gave hold instead lead passive played score three took trying

last nine stop took trips year
Last year was horrendous. We had to stop and refuel. Those trips took nine and 10 hours.
control fight good great happen jersey kept nice took win
That was a great win for us. We had control of it at times, but you know New Jersey is going to fight back because they are so talented. I thought it was nice that when they did fight back, and took the lead, we kept our composure. We kept fighting, and good things happen when you do that.
