I found this to be a pretty good interview with Saku, some time after the World Championship concluded.

Some questions included:

-how much time do you take off before starting training ?

-difference between playing for the Stanley Cup vs. playing for the World Championship ?

-do you watch the Stanley Cup playoffs after the Habs were out ?

-which guys from the final two teams do you watch ?

-how much did Montreal suffer from attrition vs. the Flyers ?

-did Carey Price's youth work against him in the playoffs ?

-do you think Price tried to do too much at times ?

-after Sheldon Souray left, why was the Habs power play still so good this season ?

-why was Mark Streit so effective on the power play this season ?

-what's it like to skate to the bench, and see Carbonneau, Muller, Jarvis there, great players that have moved behind the bench ?

-what are your vacation plans before starting back on to your training schedule ?

-how tough is it to play in Montreal ?

-how does it help you to have a Habs great in Jean Beliveau around for every game ?

-where is your favourite NHL city to visit ?

-do you feel good about the Habs' future ?

-how long do you see yourself playing in the NHL ?

-are you looking forward to the new NHL schedule ?

-put into words the rivalry with Toronto
