We get to know NHL players with five quick questions. Today's subject: Dennis Seidenberg, Florida's shot-blocking defenseman.What are your first hockey memories?
Skating around cones at youth hockey clinics when I was maybe five or six years old in Germany. I'll also always remember playing in a big tournament for my village, Schwenningen, against all the other towns when I was nine. That's when you really start to love hockey -- when you're in competitions against other kids from other places and you can see how you measure up.
What's the best part of being in the NHL?
Getting to hang out with guys like Keith Ballard. [Ballard jokes, "I thought you were going to say the paycheck" and Seidenberg counters, "No, that would not be a smart thing to say."]
I just love being in the NHL. I didn't give any thought to being able to play here until I was 18 and played in the World Championships. I started to hear that I could be drafted. Before then, I had no idea I was possibly good enough to play at this level.
What's the toughest aspect of playing in the NHL?
Any game-day rituals?
I wake up from my pre-game nap exactly four hours before the start of the game. Not a minute before or after.
Ever over-sleep?
Not yet.
If you could lay a big, clean hit on anyone in the league, who would it be?
Alexander Ovechkin, definitely. He enjoys the competition. I enjoy playing against him. He likes to throw big hits, so you like to give it back to him when you can.
Which teammate of yours would you like to be for one day?
Without a doubt, Nathan Horton. He has no worries. He lives life. He loves life. He enjoys the game and takes it seriously when the puck drops. I like his attitude.
