All (the pre-season accolades) are good honors, but I'm just one of nine players. I couldn't do it without my other eight.

The only thing it means to me is my good pre-season didn't go unnoticed. I've still got to get better each day. My goal is to be No. 1. Obviously, it's not going to happen for a few years.

The pre- announcement season has been fairly mild.

Frankly, it was tough to tell which team was in their pre-season and which one wasn't.

It was a very good way to open the season, especially after the rough pre-season that we had. Tonight we tried a couple of different things and it worked out.

Probably, I'm a little bit excited and nervous. It's not just another pre-season game, it's the first one in this building for me
