This is probably the most uptight I've been all season. Just because you wanted to win this game so bad.

It's probably the toughest game we've had all season.

I have been looking forward to this game since last season.

It's the first game of the season, you want to get off the mark and get that first win under your belt so we're very happy to get the three points. ... We gave up two bad goals, but with that, we were able to come back twice which is good. We showed a lot of character and that is something I think is really important.

Sometimes coaches can be so uptight that they bring down the game,

We want to win them. It's really simple. We want to start out strong, be solid, so it's probably those three in that order. We know (we'll be on the road) before we start. It would be easy to make that an excuse but we can't do that. We have to show the other team, our fans and ourselves that, wherever we play, we can get the job done.
