SAY WHAT - 'IT WAS A DOGFIGHT'

DUBE ON THE KRAKEN:

ON GETTING OFF TO A GOOD START TONIGHT:

"We need all four lines going. I think there wasn't enough momentum created - it was spurts, good shift, bad shift, throughout (last night's first period). We're trying to have that pressure on them, especially a road game ... put them on their heels."

ON PUTTING LAST NIGHT'S GAME IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR:

"Back-to-backs are sometimes a blessing. It's for sure in the back of your head, you know what you need to do better and respond right away."

ANDERSSON ON FACING SEATTLE:

"They're a high-pressure team. They try to pressure everywhere and they've had a good start to the season. I think they're leading the division, it's pretty tight up there. They have a really good team ... you've got to make short, quick plays and put the pucks in. That's the worst for a d-man, when the puck keeps coming behind you and you've got to go pick it up. Get on the forecheck, get to the net, and throw a lot of pucks on there."

ON FINISHING STRONG BEFORE THE ALL-STAR BREAK:

"Nine days off, you want to go on the break and have a good feeling. It's a big game tonight. Leave it all out there and go get some rest."

SUTTER ON REBOUNDING FROM LAST NIGHT'S SETBACK:

"It's a fresh day, a new day. We're dealing with a team that's top in our division. That's what today's about."

ON THE MATCH-UP:

"They haven't been a slow-moving train. They made some really big additions in the summer. I think Martin Jones really solidified their goaltending situation, if you look at it. I think the guys they brought in, in the summer, were offence. Their defence is ... I said it last year when they went through their expansion - the guys they took in the expansion (draft), the defencemen were real solid guys. Look at Dunn and Larsson, them guys are having career years. They've already hit career numbers. So that adds up to a good season.
