I've got to find the second one. It went through two or three guys, and it just hit me in the side and went in.
I went from thinking I might get traded to thinking I was not getting traded to being traded. For the guys who might get traded, it's like a roller-coaster day and you can't do anything about it. It's not a fun day.
For me, it's better to be out for a week or two weeks, than be out for three months. It doesn't feel as bad as what they say, but I've never had a groin injury, so I don't know how long it will be. I don't feel I'll be out that long, for some reason. I don't know. I have to wait to put my stuff on, see how I feel.
It seems as if we don't turn it over as much on the road as we do at home. We're real smart and we keep ourselves in every game.
It's something I'd been looking forward to for a long time, playing a game at home. It's a lot better playing in red and white. I've been under siege a few times at the other end.
We just came in and tried to play a simple road game and that's what's helped us be successful on the road this year. We're doing the little things right and finding ways to win games.
That was the best I've seen him play. When he plays like that, and they play stingy and they're opportunistic and they wait for their best chances, it's frustrating.
I think we're all wondering how the game is going to be called, whether there is going to be a parade of players to the penalty box.
I don't know why. I've just always enjoyed playing in this building and playing against them. It's just one of those things. I can't pinpoint it other than I like playing against them.
Manny's played really good. It's the best I've seen him play. I didn't see him play the last couple games, but (he) looks good.
It was something I was looking forward to for a while, the chance to play at home. It was tough missing opening night, missing so many games with an injury. So now, about a month later, I get to play at home under different circumstances. I enjoyed it. Ever since I came back and put the jersey on, I've been fired up about playing here.
He's quiet, he doesn't reveal if he's nervous. He just goes and plays. If he plays the same way he has in the regular season, he'll be fine. I think your game goes up to the next level with the atmosphere. With the situation he's going to be in, his game will go up naturally.
