I mean it was probably one of the hardest things I have had to do in my career playing in this game. I thought it took me a period and a half to get going a little bit. Mentally I wasn't sharp, it was just hard to stay focused. Like I said, it was one of the hardest things I had to do and I'm glad that it's over with and I can move on now." (NYR Game Notes)
