I understand everyone feels the same but it's hard to put into words how emotional it makes me for Cam to come back like this. First playoff game in two hundred years and Cam is there to beat a hole into the drum that's seriously almost too much happiness to handle #KeepPounding pic.twitter.com/tquOVNnP61
