Callahan describing his teammates

• Serby: Twenty-five words or less, let’s go over a couple of your teammates, on the ice or off: Gaborik.
• Callahan: I guess on the ice is how much speed he has. His shot is amazing. I guess off the ice, he’s a guy that likes to joke around a lot in the room. He likes cars, he’s always talking about the cars he has, and he’s a great guy in the room.
• Serby: Girardi.
• Callahan: Girardi’s very sarcastic, he’s got a dry humor that always lightens the room up. He’s a guy that’ll do anything for you on the ice, the way he blocks shots, and the year he’s had has been amazing.
• Serby: Brad Richards.
• Callahan: He’s a leader in the room. He’s a guy who’s helped me out through my first year being captain, and he’s been through it before, he’s won a Cup, so he’s a guy that I’ve gone to and leaned on throughout this process.”
• Serby: Henrik.
• Callahan: Focused. It seems this year he has a new demeanor to him. He’s the backbone on this team.
• Serby: Dubinsky?
• Callahan: Jokester. He’s loud, he’s always talking in the room (chuckle). Before anything, you think you hear Duby as you walk in the room. He’s a guy too that embodies what we’re about taking the body and the way he plays.
• Serby: Staal?
• Callahan: Staals is a bit more quiet. You could see it on the ice, he’s calm, the way he controls the play. He’s a guy that doesn’t talk too much but when he does, you listen.
• Serby: Del Zotto.
• Callahan: He’s a guy I think guys like to get on a little bit, he’s an easy guy to joke around with (smile). This year he’s been big for us on our power play, the way he moves the puck really well out there and sees the ice well.
