As Habs fans anxiously await news out of Minnesota today surrounding tonight's NHL Entry Draft, Andrei Markov met with the Montreal media in Brossard today.A good recap can be found here:
Some GEM quotes from Markov...
Markov: "I was supposed to stay in Russia for two weeks, but I'm happy and comfortable (in Montreal) so I changed my ticket after 7 days."
Markov: "There's always a risk of injury; I play hockey, not chess."
Reporter: "Who's the first guy you're going to hit at your first practice?"
Markov: "Jacques Martin. I'm just kidding."
Reporter: "Will you be able to help mentor the young Alexei Yemelin?"
Markov: "I'm not the coach yet, I'm just a player. But if anybody asks me for help, I'm open to that."
Reporter: "Do you have a no trade clause?"
Markov: "Oh... I have no idea..."
Reporter: "Are you serious?"
Markov: "...Yeah..."
Reporter: "Will you be more cautious in the corners because of the last 2 injuries?"
Markov: "I will be more aggressive."
Reporter: "Were you not interested to test free agency to see what you could be worth on the open market?"
Markov: "It must be interesting but I'm happy here. Our crowd is the best crowd in the league, so every time I step on the ice I'm excited."
