‘The diminutive Briere, whom I’ve nicknamed “Mighty Mouse,” is generously listed in the Sabres media guide at 5’10” and 178 pounds, but he plays much bigger than that. Briere is not afraid to go into the corners to get a puck, or get physical behind the net in both zones. You rarely see Briere take a check, not because he’s afraid, but because opposing teams can’t hit what they can’t catch.’
