It didn't look like anything ruined Taurisi's fun last night.
I think I have a strong competitive drive. But I also have the ability to put things in perspective. We won our first-round playoff game this year. That was a lot of fun. We lost in the quarterfinals then again in the consolations. Leading up to both those two games, I wanted very badly to win them. At the end of the last one, which was also the end of the career for my three great seniors, I was devastated for a few minutes. Then the hurt of losing turned into the hurt of it being over. And now, six weeks later, I can look back and be really proud of the season we had.
And we had a lot of fun.
