COYOTE BITES:
"As much as I want guys to be stress free and play stress-less, I don't want them comfortable. After the last game, there's some things we've got to straighten out ... I hope they get some juice off (Opening Night). They walk the red carpet. They see the fans getting excited to watch a game. Yeah, I think they should embrace that. That should give them some juice. You want to give your best, and you want the fans when they leave the rink (to say), 'Man, that team works hard.' We're not looking for dipsy doodles and circus shows. But we do want a hard-working team, and hopefully the fans will get that." -- Rick Tocchet
"The home opener is fun. It's always exciting to be back in front of your fans in a full house. If you can't get up for the home opener than you better look in the mirror and find out if you're a hockey player or not. These are fun games to play in, you've just got to manage your emotions for the first 10 minutes and then it's just hockey after that." -- Jordan Martinook
"All during camp we tried to play fast and had high-paced practices, and we did that in the first half of the game vs Anaheim and it worked out for us. Now we have to find a way to play like that for 60 minutes." -- Tobias Rieder
