Transcript

00:00 Yeah, we have a lot of veterans on our team, a lot of guys who have been around and we

00:10 knew kind of even though that they were pressuring us, we stayed calm.

00:15 We wanted to just weather the storm the whole time and having a group of older guys that

00:20 lead the team and then just an old team in general is definitely an advantage.

00:25 This is obviously, it's been a special night, so it's a winning night.

00:27 Does this just give you a taste, obviously there are two more possible trophies, but

00:31 does this as a group give you a taste of, you know, yeah, want some more of this this

00:34 year?

00:35 Yeah, I mean like I've said, every team goes into a season winning as many trophies as

00:39 they can.

00:40 Three was our goal at the beginning of the season and we got one, so now we have two

00:45 more to get and we've put ourselves in good positions to do that, so we're just going

00:48 to keep living in the moment, keep working hard to get them and see what happens.

00:52 Will it be difficult to switch back, obviously because you're back in the league actually

00:56 on Saturday, you haven't got a long turnaround have you?

00:59 Yeah, I mean we'll enjoy it tonight, we'll have some fun tonight and then we'll get back

01:03 to work on Friday and we don't want to take anyone lightly.

01:09 We know we have some tough opponents and players play hard against us because we're in first

01:13 place and everyone wants to spoil a party, so we're going to be, like I said, a veteran

01:18 group and we're just going to take that and be ready for Saturday.

01:22 So a lot of families out there joining the players, were your family here tonight?

01:25 Yeah, I had my parents here, I had my girlfriend here, my girlfriend's with me all year, but

01:31 yeah it was really special to have them here.

01:32 Yeah.

01:33 Yeah.
