They’re not soft at all. That’s not true. Before coming in to Vancouver, I knew they had that (soft) label. Playing against them I never thought they were soft though. They go to those hard areas. They usually get those heavy (defencemen), back in the day those Chris Pronger-types, the mean shutdown guys who are going to lay a licking on guys when they cross the blue-line. They don’t retaliate because they know when they get on the power play what they can do. That’s a good toughness to have. It’s been an eye opener to play with them. They’re hard working guys, they’re stars in a huge market. They’re just humble, approachable guys who treat everyone the same.
