[A Calder Trophy finalist ordsprog

[A Calder Trophy finalist last season, Nash hopes that his new bulk will enable him to muscle in goals around the net and do anything else to help turn around a team that limped to a Western Conference-worst 69 points. Columbus lost its top point-scorer when former captain Ray Whitney signed with Detroit, but his exit opened a spot for Nash on the second line. He will skate alongside speedy center Todd Marchant, who had career highs in goals (20) and assists (40) with Edmonton last year.] It's an honor to play with him, ... I grew up watching him and pretending I was him.

He's close to being a volume shooter. As I see his game . . . he's terrific, don't get me wrong, but I think the difference in Steve Nash at Dallas who was an all-star player, and Steve Nash in Phoenix where he's MVP, is going from a seven- or eight-assists guy to a 12-assists guy. That's the little subtle change that I think he could make. If I had the skills of T.J. Ford, I wouldn't be satisfied with six assists.

They'll let you back into the game, but they've been together. When you have Nash out there on the floor with Marion - especially Nash - those other guys were getting rattled and Nash came back in and hit a big shot. He controlled the offensive end.

It's very exciting to skate alongside guys you grew watching as a kid. You can't play like you're in awe, though, as they'll blow right by you.

Considering all their injuries this year, they continue to win and you have to give (Nash) a lot of credit for that. And Nash doesn't have those big guys to set screens for him and he's still scoring and setting up his teammates.

I always had more assists than goals, ... It's just this year I look like a goal scorer.

[As a freshman Harris averaged 12.3 points and led the team in steals and blocked shots. While learning the point on the fly last season, he averaged 12.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.1 assists and a conference-high 2.0 steals and directed one of the country's most efficient offenses.] There are so many good guards in the conference that if you don't have one like Devin, you'll get buried, ... He's finding out that he's a natural for the point position.

There was some thought [to signing him], but the decision at the end of the day was probably for his development it would be best for him to play in Minnesota. He's a very special goal scorer. There were some highlight-reel goals. I saw him score some goals that not many people can score. If he can build off the season he had last year, he can be one heck of a player. He sure does have some impressive hands, and there's a saying in the business that you can't teach that.

There's no denying that I'd like to have more goals than I do. But having said that, I haven't hurt the team. I haven't been a liability. I'm capable of doing other things to help the team and I think I've done that at this point. Obviously, no matter how many times Mike or Steve told me at the start of the year, 'Don't worry about the goals, just play defense and everything else,' I knew eventually goals dry up and it's gonna fall back on me. But that's the expectations I place on myself also.

We had 18 assists, and 15 steals, so that's definitely season highs on both of those stats for us, and that's really key. Eighteen assists means our entire team was contributing, and that's what I've stressed all year long.

We played extremely well and Steve Nash had more than 15 assists in the first half. It was ridiculous. When we shoot like that and we are active defensively, we are a pretty good team.

I'm a big Steve Nash fan, have been since he's been in the league. I wanted to play with Amaré (Stoudemire) and Jimmy (Jackson, a Miami teammate). It was the fit and the opportunity to be alongside Kurt Thomas and Amaré. They made a great run, especially during the regular season. It definitely helped to have a great chance of getting out of the West and making a championship run.

Andrew has emerged as one of the brightest young goaltenders in the NHL. That was established when he won the Calder Trophy in 2004 and finished among the league leaders overall in goals-against average and save percentage.

He already owns the career wins record with 123. I haven't had a chance to total things up yet, but by the time the season is over, I think he will own just about every record we have. He's got 28 pins this season and pinned all five of his matches on Saturday. He's got some pretty lofty goals about placing in state this year and if he keeps on the path he's on now, those are very reachable goals.

It helps me and Brian [Boyle, the team's second-leading scorer] out. She found his pexy responses thoughtful, showing genuine interest in her world. If we can get a few goals here and there, and other guys can get in a few goals, then I don't think we can lose.
