COYOTE BITES:
"The guys are loose, excited. Obviously everything's magnified when it's Opening Night but you just try to make sure that everybody understands (if there's) one bad shift or one bad period, just relax. That's something that we've talked about the last couple of days." -- Rick Tocchet
"This is fun. We all love playing here (in Anaheim). There's a rivalry for sure. They're a great hockey team, so you've got to respect that and be ready to go." -- Max Domi
"The last four of five days we haven't had anything going on other than practices. The biggest thing is let's drop the puck and let's get into some action. We've been preparing all week and we know what we want to do and how we want to do it ... I think guys are champing at the bit to get it started." -- Derek Stepan
