I was thinking of going back there when the opportunity arose to come here. I decided to take a shot at it. I trained hard this summer, and I'm going to try my best to crack the lineup.

Villach is in the southern part of the country, 20 minutes from Italy and Slovenia. We got a day off every week, and I got to travel into northern Italy quite a bit, to places like Milan and Venice.

I think any player who's played professionally for a number of years has had to learn to roll with the punches. You can't worry about the (lack of) security. You know it's a day-to-day thing.

It's my opportunity to say all the things that are politically incorrect. It's all the stuff we're thinking about but don't say anymore.

It is do or die. The season is coming to an end. We still have an opportunity. It has to be a big trip for us.

It's always good to have an opportunity to win a game, but we don't do moral victories here. We're not a moral victory kind of team. We lost, we lost.
