[how big is that? i know it’s just one win but at the end — i think you could be in first place at the end of the night, and just, uh, i know it’s february but two points are two points.]   yeah, it’s huge, uh, i feel like i was … due, for that. um, i — y’know, i got the bounces tonight, couple posts, couple … couple times i looked like a goalie in the eighties, uh, so uh, just got lucky sometimes, and that’s, that’s what you need. i feel like i haven't got that up to this point, so, played good and got the bounces and got a dub.  [being from out of town, we don’t get to see you play all that often, but since you’ve been back from the injury is this maybe the best you might feel?]   yeah, it might be the best i’ve felt my whole career. so, just, uh … you know, sometimes it goes that way. and you know, it’s almost — i think my night’s almost easier than, you know, UPL’s. it’s tough when the other guy’s getting all the work and then, you know, we come down a two-on-one or breakaway. and he had some huge saves, like, he … he gave them a chance to win, and, you know, they could’ve easily tied that and, you know. so sometimes it’s easier when you’re getting all the work. you’re not — you know, he played really well, and, um, you know. know a couple guys over there, so fun to stop some of those guys.
