Bogosian gives props

Rookie defenseman Zach Bogosian has found a mentor in Mathieu. Partly brought to Atlanta to help the development of the 18-year old, Mathieu has been helping him out on and off the ice, tutoring him on the different players in the league, and even taking him to dinner. Says Bogosian:

"Since Day One he has been awesome with me," said Bogosian, who also credits Ron Hainsey for his early development. "It's easy to come into the locker room and sit next to a guy like that. It makes you feel comfortable. He told me I looked good (Thursday) night. He said as the games go on you will feel more comfortable and realize what you can and can't do. It's an honor to be playing with him." (from NHL.com)
