“I know my role now has changed from when I first game in, but it's a different game too. The game has changed with blocking shots over the years. You're not getting the same looks that you used to. Plus, on this team, Karlsson is the big guy for us offensively on the backend and I've got to do my job defensively.

“That's what makes teams good and that's what makes teams competitive. Everyone has a job and everyone has to do their job. I still think I have an offensive side to my game, but I'm asked to do more on the defensive side and I enjoy that role.”

-Dion Phaneuf of the Ottawa Senators. Darren Dreger of the Dreger Report has more on Phaneuf.
