It's not something I sit up thinking about to complete me as a player, but once we get into it I'm going to want to win like crazy. I definitely want to win the tournament, and if that comes with gold that would be awesome.
It was gutsy. There's another word I could use for that, but it's gutsy to come down and have the patience and the presence to pull off a move like that on Dom.
I think it's hard to project what a guy's going to do, one year out of college, one year in pro. It's a lot of pressure on a kid. But overall he's handled it extremely well.
I think the important thing is we've just got to grow as a team. You can't just learn and grow together with wins, you also have to do it with losses.
I was lying in bed one night and couldn't sleep, and it just dawned on me there wasn't one in here. I think it should be here.
It's great when he's on because he can find the net. As he gets older, I think he'll be less streaky and just more consistent. But he's doing all right as a streaky guy right now anyway.
It was kind of a strange 10 or 15 minutes. Whoever we got, we got. Either way, I think we'll be ready.
I think it was exactly what we needed. Hopefully, it translates (tonight). I don't know if payback is the right word, but it's nice when you get blown out like that to have a game right away against the same team.
He seems like a solid, well put-together kid. He kept his nose right in there and wasn't shying away. If he keeps getting better every practice, he's going to be a pretty good player.
I think we're pretty fearless. We just kind of find a way. Nothing really fazes us.
