“The game tonight was so junky, low scoring. They’re obviously a good defense, we’re a good defense, so it’s no surprise. To me those type of things have never mattered. It’s just always about walking out of here with a W. If I have a night like I had tonight and we win the way we win tonight for the rest of the season I’ll be the happiest guy on earth. The winning is all that matters.”
