It's tough to be on the bench just basically riding. I just want to get out there and play and help the team win.

I got to feel with him, I got a shot to play professionally.

I am bummed out in a way. But at the same time, I will be 10-times firmer than I was before when I get back. My shoulder was holding me back toward the end (of last season).

No one knows how you feel unless you say something, and no one wants to stay on the sidelines and just do nothing. Everyone wants to contribute to a win, and no one wants to [watch] a great season and feel like you didn't do anything to help.

I played well but was just a little unlucky. I keep telling myself that if you play in a final, it's not a bad week.

My whole mind-set has been when I do go out and get an opportunity to play I'm just going to go out and do what I can to help this team win and play hard. Hopefully you impress those around you.
