He got me 13 of 14 times. I believe I'm 2-for-4 in 2006.

His presence on air is reassuring. Paul tells you how he feels. He's a quiet, unassuming man with a dry sense of humor. I couldn't ask for a better radio partner.

We make a good team. I think we're a good fit. But Paul's trivia questions are turning my hair gray, not his.

He was a great scorer in junior hockey, but his role in the pros was that of a checker. Paul always worked hard. That's just him.

They've always had a long-term plan and they've always drafted well. A good example is Scott Hartnell. He's only 23 years old, but he's already a solid, five-year veteran and he's got a long career ahead of him.

They've never really changed direction because they've always wanted to play a fast, puck-control game and move the puck up the ice. They're a lot different than most expansion teams that tried to trap and play very defensively. In my opinion, that's the reason they're successful now ? the new rules suit them.
