The best part about yesterday’s game was that the 2nd half became a “love affair” between the city and the team. The team had come out and thoroughly won a “must win” game; and the city had the chance to appreciate a team one more time that had given us so much to enjoy this season.
Now it’s on to Miami……and Nashville…..and Pittsburgh….and Tampa. Maybe.
It certainly feels good to be here instead of where we were last season; I know that.
Let’s see what everyone else has to say….
