		In many NHL outposts across North America, the news that Oleg Tverdovsky would be calling New Jersey home this season was not met with great excitement, especially from Eastern Conference opponents that will see a steady diet of Coach Pat Burns' crew.
		Tverdovsky is well known around the NHL as one of the top skill guys at his position and one of the swiftest-skating defensemen in the entire league.
		As an added bonus, the pressure Tverdovsky has been subjected to in the past, when he was often the first, last and only offensive presence on his team's blue line, will be lessened because of the presence of Niedermayer and Rafalski, and vice versa.

	Anaheim Mighty Ducks, Oleg Tverdovsky, National Hockey League, New Jersey Devils - CBS SportsLine.com
		Players rarely admit to any additional motivation when playing against teams that traded them, but New Jersey's Oleg Tverdovsky has no problem owning up to the emotional boost he gets facing the Anaheim Mighty Ducks in the Stanley Cup Finals.
		Tverdovsky, an offensive-oriented defenseman who sometimes struggles in his own end, did not play in eight of New Jersey's nine previous playoff games before the Anaheim series began, but has suited up twice against his old team precisely because Devils coach Pat Burns thought he might be a little more driven.
		Tverdovsky didn't cause any problems in the first game of the series, but he made the coach's hunch really pay off in Game 2 when he assisted on New Jersey's first two goals with shots from the point.
