We kind of got thrown under the bus after the first game. But we really stuck together. We saw our team evolve and develop into the team you saw at the end. Everybody was on the same page and playing great.

It (the bus) is stuck in the balcony on the first floor.

The most I ever played was 42 minutes in a three-period game. But I didn't get across the red line too much in that one.

For the first game out as a starter, I like what I saw. You see what kind of arm he had, and you see how he can fit balls in there. He had three interceptions that will drag his passing efficiency down, but I like the guts of the kid. I think he can play. But he has to do a better job of organizing and managing the offense out there, too, and he know that, and I hope he does that next week.

I didn't get much on the first (shot), ... I saw it kind of pop back out, and I just reached in between two guys and poked it in.

It's been a long trip for us and the team has really stuck together. We've been resilient and we've been able to come out and put our best foot forward, regardless of the situation. It just shows that our team is really unique ... as far as us being able to get through a season in such controversy.
