from Ted Kulfan of the Detroit News,
"It means something that we went out and acquired so many players," Larkin said. "But we have to go out and prove it. Just because you look at the roster on paper (and it looks improved) doesn't mean anything. We have to prove it and finally that day has come to do that.
"It's exciting. We've been waiting for this. It's been a long summer. It's been a lot of excitement around town."
Some of that excitement also stems from a new voice behind the bench....
Lalonde is in his first NHL head-coaching job. He has consistently talked about entering this job, this position, with a "fresh start" in regards to personnel on this roster.
Lalonde feels this particular roster is fast, and wants to utilize that speed. He wants to this lineup to be difficult to play against.
