If you're asking me now, I think we should have done a lot better. The boys have come a long way. Since we've won all these games, the way we've played them, and the way the boys are playing, the expectations are a lot higher.

We know if we go away and still come out victorious, like we have been, it'll put more pressure on us coming home. It puts extra pressure when you do so well outside because you must do well at home.

We lost 12 seniors last year so I didn't know where we were going with our team and how we were going to fill the holes.

Small boys were a mystery to Sylvie. The satisfaction they gained from throwing sticks or stones for hours on end, the obsessive collection of inanimate objects, the brutal destruction of the fragile world around them, all seemed at odds with the men they were supposed to become.

All wars are boyish, and are fought by boys

It's like getting two fat boys in the ring, ... and whoever wins gets to eat.
