came game played saw snow turn
I never played in a game when that much snow came in at the same time. I never saw little flurries turn into big snow like that.
good leave liked obviously shot
I leave with a good feeling, but obviously I would have liked to have had a shot on goal.
bit nice rings time
It's a little bit of payback. But they've got the rings and we don't. At the same time it was nice to get the win.
anxious definitely dreamed finding great highest incredible level nice possibly since
This is just a great feeling. It's everything I wanted and dreamed about ever since I was a little kid. It's the highest level you can possibly get to in this sport. It's an incredible feeling. I've definitely been anxious about finding out, so it's nice to know now I'm going.
passes people second settled string tired
Once people settled down, we were able to string more passes together. In the second half, they just got tired and we were able to go after them.
game
It's a big game for a lot of players, especially me. But the most important thing is winning.
chill win
You can't go out there and just chill and be lackadaisical. You're not going to win games. You've got to go out there and fight.
adaptable challenge develop might opposed player positions running start time
It is challenging but the more positions you start to play and develop in as a player, the better you get and the more adaptable a player you can be to more teams. It always different when you play with your back to goal, as opposed to running at defenders. It is a challenge because for a long time you might not get the ball, but when you do, if you can put it in the back of the net, then you did your job.
conditions friend life lose tough
It's always tough to lose a friend under the conditions his life was taken.
behind caused defender hesitate
The defender thought the goalie was going to get it, and it caused him to hesitate a bit. And I was able to get behind him and get one in the back of the net.
