from Helene Elliott of the LA Times,

“It felt a little odd the first time I put it on before the game. I was pretty nervous even though this was just a preseason game,” said the Finnish center, who signed with the Ducks as a free agent in July. “It’s a new situation for me after 13 years in Montreal and a different feeling.

“I’m glad the first one is over with and hopefully it’s going to be easier for me from here on and I’ll be more relaxed."…

“It was more physical than in the East. Maybe that’s something that I have to get used to a bit more here in the West,” Koivu said.

I watched the game, RC speaks the absolute truth:

“We got outplayed,” Ducks Coach Randy Carlyle said. “There weren’t a lot of things that we could be happy with from a standpoint of our team game. They moved the puck around us. It was like they outskated us.”
