Quote of the Week:
"First we came from Chicago with a big result and very optimistic for this part of the season, which is going to become very crowded now with games and all of them important games. So for now it's just saying the same phrase all the time, this is the one and we'll be prepared. The boys have gone on a good stretch of performances and games so now we keep going."
