What they said:

Rod Brind’Amour on Jordan Staal’s first goal of the season

“I  thought  Jordo  for  sure  – that  one  is  a  pretty  special  goal  there,  that  was  big…that was a heck of a goal. And  when  they  tied  it  up,  obviously  that  was  huge  to  come  back  and  get  a  couple  of  them.”

Rod Brind’Amour on the opening night crowd’s energy:

“You know every year you start fresh, but just the enthusiasm from the crowd – here it is – game one. That was electric in here and those are special moments really when it’s it’s like that. It just goes to show the kind of great great support we have here and it’s appreciated.”
