	Season of highs, lows for Gonchar - The Washington Times: Sports (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Washington Capitals defenseman Sergei Gonchar can sum up his season in one word: "weird." Weird as in the Caps' three-time All-Star leading all skaters in ice time and defensemen in points and ranking second in assists while having one of the NHL's worst defensive ratings.
		Gonchar, who has 37 assists, 42 points and a minus-21 rating, gladly would go cold turkey on the assists for a while if it meant his rating would improve because the latter would only happen if Washington is winning games at even strength.
		Gonchar is also focusing more on defense because longtime sidekick Ken Klee signed with Toronto as a free agent.

		PITTSBURGH — In some respects, Sergei Gonchar joined the Pittsburgh Penguins because he wanted to be a member of the Sidney Crosby entourage.
		The attraction to Gonchar was simple: He was the league's top point-producing defenseman, and the Penguins were assembling an offensive-minded team to complement Crosby and Mario Lemieux.
		Gonchar is a proven power-play quarterback, although he will have to adjust his game somewhat because Lemieux usually controls the power play from the side boards.
