We had a lead in that game and we blew it. We have to learn to pull those games out. ... We're trying to make the playoffs and every point counts. If you miss it by one point, you probably look back at this game.

We had the lead and we blew it. We're trying to make the playoffs and every point counts. If you miss it by one, you'll probably look back at this game, look at all the games we blew, and we've got to stop doing that. We've got to pull them out.

I never knew there were so many French people in Florida. It was fun, to tell you the truth. I felt like I was at a soccer game or something with two national anthems. Hopefully we can convert some of their fans.
