Nobody thought they would shoot this good. And it wasn't just one guy we could key on because it was everybody tonight.
I love being in that position. Ever since I was a kid, I've always liked the big shot. I'm just glad it's going in now. More importantly, we're winning.
I felt overwhelmed by ticket demands and people wanting something from me. I said, I've got to get me a home team.
I can't really say I've seen him show signs of stress because he's never really stopped coaching us.
It's hard to sit and watch. If you can jog a little, you should be out there. I was going to play and if it hurt too much, I'll sit down.
It shows a lot about our team. We have to build on this. We can't win one and then lose five.
The young guys just have so much energy. This is a great opportunity for them.
It's a humbling game. You never really figure it out.
It makes you put everything in perspective. Whatever the reason is we're crying about playing time or whatever, it just makes you look at the big picture. His health is more important than trying to rush back and coach us.
It is the greatest rush you can get. For me, that is the greatest rush I can ever get. When it goes through the net, that is the greatest rush because fans explode and your teammates get excited.
I try not to look at the past. I keep moving forward and hopefully things get better.
It was definitely a huge bump in the road. Hopefully next year and in the years to come, we'll be where we want to be. But you've got to take your lumps, and nobody thought it would be a lump like this.
It was embarrassing. I thought we played hard for the last three quarters. It was hard playing catch-up. We ended up losing by six but the first quarter was devastating.
It was an adjustment, to go from starting to coming off the bench. It wasn't a rut.
