“I think their team was designed for clutch-and-grab, tight defence and good goaltending. I don't think Paul Kariya will be the answer by scoring enough goals to make a difference. In 2004, they made the playoffs for the first time and a lot of it was their goaltender. Can he be as good night after night after night? I don't think so.”
“Khabibulin will give them good goaltending. But he's going to have to be great, not just good, every night. And you put all your money in him and Adrian Aucoin. I like Trent Yawney as a coach but I don't think they've got enough talent. It's just not going to work.”
“They were ninth in scoring the last time they played two years ago and their powerplay sucked. So they'll score by committee and the powerplay will be better. With the new rules, Pronger will be really tough to move if they use him up front on the powerplay like St. Louis did at times. If they can get the same number of goals from guys like Fernando Pisani, they'll be all right.”

“Rick Nash is a great player and Adam Foote will help. They're counting on Bryan Berard to put up some offensive numbers and play a lot of minutes and I don't think he can do it. Plus, they're just not deep enough.”
“I just knew who it was. The light was on and I saw him. He had a ski mask on, but it was all open ... He was only two steps behind me. I could see flames going by as he shot at me, like, eight times.”
