00:20Guys are hurt.

00:22Gaff a lot.

00:25There was no doubt I was going to come back and play, but that makes you want to come out

00:29and play with these guys.

00:31They leave it on the floor and battle each and every night.

00:35That's when it leaves on the team.

00:38I just want to go out there and do as much as I can to get them a breather at least.

00:54I thought he did an incredible job.

00:56I thought his rhythm was good.

01:00Just being able to play for the rest of the guys.
