For me, all that is a little tough to wrap your head around.

It's not going to be easy. We've shown that. But if we can get a win in the morning, we might have a chance to control our own destiny against a team that's going to be playing for something and that's playing as good if not the best of anybody here this week.

That's when I first started getting sore but I didn't go for treatments there. But when we were in Newfoundland (for a Grand Slam event), I was worried that I wouldn't be able to play in Regina.

You look at the skills that Ryan brings to the table. He's a young guy who brings a lot of piss and vinegar, something we may have lacked at times.

Any time I've ever won anything, we've gotten away with a couple of things and that's the difference between teams that end up winning and teams that don't.
