That was the special thing about this team: We were a club. The 25 guys we had on this team were as close as any team I have ever been a part of or associated with.

Through all of the choke talk and everything else that was said, this team really stuck together when the chips were down and we weren't playing as well together as we knew we could. Everybody stuck together and nobody paid attention to that and we were all a unit, and it paid off in the end.
