I asked for two hats. As long as he brings them back, we'll let him slide. But he's got to be a little fan-friendly down there. We have to protect our interests.
I'm glad it worked out and happened at home and my family was here, and the fans. At least we can take something positive out of it today.
That's an unbelievable team that we just beat, ... and it's just a great feeling right now and it just goes to show you that we just never gave up.
And sometimes, ... it might be a guy throwing something you might not want to know about.
That way I won't have to miss any games. This is the time of year where it's a little bit of a tough time, and she didn't want me to miss any games, anyway.
They got some guys on and we had one bad play. But, once again, they've got a good team over there, and for us to come out here and take two out of three, we'll take it.
It's a great feeling, a tremendous feeling. But we haven't accomplished anything yet.
It was just Rocket being Rocket. He was just adding to his legendary status.
It was a great ceremony. The rings are great. It was a memorable day, up until the game started. Then we just didn't play very well today. All of us.
You're talking 25- and 30-home run guys and they're not in your lineup anymore, so you have to do some things differently, ... That's hit-and-running, laying down some bunts. We can't be swinging for the fences. We've got some power, but we don't have as much as we did last year. We just have to be a little more creative.
Obviously, we had some pretty big bats last year. But this year's lineup isn't so bad, either.
I know he's smiling right now, ... He's overjoyed. We were so happy for him when he finally won the Stanley Cup. We couldn't wait to get through on the phone to him and congratulate him.
You know that play is going to be real close, ... I don't know if he would have gotten me or not because I hit it off the end and it was spinning funny. It's just one of those situations where you always run it out and you always get an opportunity.
He?s been phenomenal. He?s been a huge contributor for us and a big lift.
