POILE (smiling): Well we get asked that question a lot, and I don’t think it serves us any purpose to answer that. We are blessed with a top-four defence and actually have been for a number of years, and it’s changed from Ryan Suter and Shea Weber, even a young Seth Jones whom everybody saw was getting there, so you’re right, it would not serve me any purpose to answer that question. All of our guys do something that I think really helps us win. I think all our top-four could be top-two with any other team. Ryan Ellis missed 20 games. If you look at what our record was with Ryan Ellis back in the lineup then you’d have to put some good credence that maybe he was the difference. P.K. (Subban) is the guy that got the Norris Trophy (finalist) nod this year, he almost led our entire team in scoring. And, I think it’s been recognized now probably more with Nashville than it was with Montreal, but he’s actually been recognized as being a more complete defenceman and his defensive game, which maybe was criticized a little bit in Montreal. If you talk to our players and specifically our coach, they applaud his game. Then we have Mattias Ekholm who doesn’t get the recognition he deserves, but he plays in all situations and actually we drafted him as an offensive defenceman but he doesn’t get to play the power play. But we know that he can. And Roman Josi has been top 10 in Norris Trophy voting the last couple of years; him and P.K. play the biggest minutes on our team. He’s a world-class player that any team would want. So it’s a good question, and I will not answer it (laughs).
