| Sergei GONCHAR (gohn-CHAR, SAIR-gay) |
Pittsburgh Penguins |
|
Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby: "He is so patient and skilled with the puck. Just the little things like getting a puck through a guy's stick or under it. Or just the way he finds guys. Sometimes he is not even really skating that fast, and he is able to shift guys ... he's got skill, and he is smart. And he has been doing it for a long time."
Pittsburgh teammate Ryan Whitney: "I would definitely say he is underrated, but (we) know how good he is, and that is what is important to him."
Penguins GM Ray Shero: "Gonchar is a quiet guy by nature, but a real good person who really cares about winning and his teammates. He plays lots of quality minutes and hard minutes. He's a guy who wants to play against top players. He's a top defender, but everyone thinks of his offense only ... He wants that reputation of an all-around defenseman. That's a great attitude to have."
