Montreal Canadiens |

Defense partner Mike Komisarek: "Marky makes the types of plays only he can possibly make. His vision out there is amazing and he always seems to be in the right spot at the right time ... He's obviously never been a big talker off the ice, but now he's talking more than ever and taking on a lot more responsibility. He's developed into a true leader."
Head coach Guy Carbonneau: "Not only is he contributing offensively, but he's a pillar on defense. He's proving right now that he's among the league's best."
Montreal General Manager Bob Gainey: "We consider Andrei an elite player in the NHL. His experience, his statistics ... he's an important part of our team and he's an important part of the Russian national team, which is always an indication of an elite player."
Montreal forward Chris Higgins: "He's been our best defenseman since I've been here ... A lot of people around the League don't know him, but he's extremely skilled. Sometimes he leaves guys shaking their heads on the bench with the passes and plays he makes."
