I always feel like there's something I have to prove.
Our intensity was terrific. We forced them to play the style we wanted to play. They have been dictating their style of play against everyone.
I thought our guys responded well. Every guy that came in made a major contribution. We had guys making big plays after big plays, and they were different games. That's been the character of this team all year.
Our intensity was terrific. I thought we forced them to have to play the way we wanted them to play. They had been able to dictate their style of play against everyone and we wanted to make sure that they had to play the way we wanted them to play.
Our guys just believe that at some point, we're going to get you.
The guys believe at some point during the game, they're going to get you.
I thought we stepped up our intensity in the second half. I thought our depth really came into play. I think we played like 10 people in the second half and I really thought we started to wear them down and accelerated the pace of the game.

We moved the ball and got the shots we wanted. In the first half, we didn't move the ball as well and that was the difference.
They've dominated us. I don't know another word to use. To me, they're the best team in this league. I really believe that.
I was very surprised Fair Along was ever 25-1 because he's got some of the best form against the others. Anyway, we thought he had a squeak but obviously Detroit City was the more fancied of the two.
We feel like right around the seven- or eight-minute mark is when the other team should be getting a little tired. That's when our depth, our fresh legs and our pressure defense really starts to come into effect.
I'd be concerned about his handicap mark. He could run well against very good horses without winning, and for the sake of showing he isn't good enough to run in a Gold Cup, we could mess up his chance to win a big handicap.
I came here last week and everyone was in kilts.
