00:00Hey, what about Keith?
00:01I mean, you could see how emotional he was
00:03after that win, after game seven.
00:06Was he able to express to you exactly
00:07what was running through him, how proud he was of you?
00:10Like what did he say to you after that game?
00:16Well, I'm sure you guys have seen the video.
00:17I've never seen him cry in my life.
00:20I swear to God, I've never seen him cry.
00:22And he was bawling his eyes out like a big baby
00:26in the stands as those few minutes went by after we won.
00:32So I think that just a picture is worth 1,000 words.
00:36And I saw everything I needed to see right there.
00:39The emotion for my family, the emotion for my brother
00:42when I was lifting the cup around the ice
00:44and stopped right in front of my family where they were sitting
00:47and just gave it one big push up.
00:50It was something that I'll never forget.
00:53And it's really cool being able to watch it back.
00:56I've watched it a couple of times since winning it.
00:59And it's incredible.
01:00Yeah, that clip right there, it's unbelievable.
