[Sidney Crosby] passes the puck so well that you have to be careful. But with (Evgeni) Malkin, he gets in the 'gray areas' to score goals. He's got a lot of skills and he'll make you look silly, so you've got to be careful with both of those guys."

"I wouldn’t say it’s a struggle playing with him, but Sid sees plays happening one or two steps ahead, and other guys don’t. It can frustrate him. I don’t think that by any means he gets on his linemates too bad, but he’s a superstar…."

"I don’t think we’re changing our expectations. Everyone wants to win the Stanley Cup, but we all realize that the season is long and there are a lot of things that can happen. It has to be short-term goals. We have to start off the season well and we didn’t do that last year. I think we all believe we can have a better start."
