The game is over in Boston, skip.

Not just personally, either. More because of what the team went through. The injuries, the adversity ... we went through so much to get here, and to kind of put it all together at the end of the year is pretty satisfying for everyone in this room.

You know in his tone of voice, his facial expressions. When he has a meeting, he doesn't have to scream and yell, he can just give you that face and that tone he has, and you know we had better pick it up and get going again.

For his job being on the line, so to speak.

They need to win, too. We still have a good chance.

We all think it shouldn't be, because he's done such a great job here.

Once you're in, you're in. There are only four teams who make it. Let's go.

That was ridiculous, ... I've never seen a ball hit that far.
