They said it

"I'm excited for tonight, it's my dream ever since being a little kid. It's just another game, it's a hockey game out there, it's the NHL, but I've got to treat it like it's another game. I just have to keep doing what I've been doing." -- Coyotes goalie Adin Hill on his NHL debut.
"It's always probably going to feel weird, spending 10 years there, so every time I play against them it's probably going to feel weird. But I'll enjoy it. I'm on a great team right now so I'll enjoy playing against them." -- Stars center Martin Hanzal on facing the Coyotes.
