Found the following on my Bruins news group.  Thought you all might be interested.
 
(Canoe is I believe a Canadian news organization web site).
 
Enjoy !!

Subject: Transcript of Peter Ferraro chat on Canoe.
 
Moderator: Hello! We're in the process of setting things up. Please stand
by. Thanks.
 
FerraroRules: Congratulations Peter on your award! As a P-Bruins fan, it
seems like every team is beating up on you guys as much as possible this
year. How do you see that, and how is it to come in as the Defending Calder
Cup Champions?
 
Peter Ferraro: Well, obviously, there has been more intensity than other
games, because it is more of a challenge.
 
ksgBsfan: Congratulations on being named Player of the week, Peter! The
transactions listed you as being 'on loan' to Providence from Boston. Does
that indicate that you'll be called up to Boston again soon?
 
Peter Ferraro: Things like that happened randomly. I really have no
indication of being called up to Boston. I really have no idea.
 
MacKenzie: Peter as a Providence Bruins season ticket holder I am very glad
to see you back with us in Providence. You bring a great deal of energy to
our team, not to mention goal scoring. My question: knowing how close you
and your brother are do you find it difficult to play against him when the
situation arises?
 
Peter Ferraro: Fortunately, I haven't had the opportunity to play him. My
brother and I are competitive athletes anyways, and we're just happy for
each other.
 
Erica and Christina: Congrats! We were just wondering who your roomate is
on the road and who do you hang out with off the ice, and what do you guys
do for fun?
 
Peter Ferraro: Jeremy Brown. It differs every road trips. The last two
haven't been with Brown. Sometimes when we are not on a winning streak, we
change roommates, so nothing is permanent.
 
Jaime Bailey: Hello Peter, Congratulations on being named SherWood AHL
Player of the week. The numbers you have been putting together are awesome
and being Player of the Week is a well deserved title for you! I am curious
to know if you think that your Providence Bruins will repeat as the Calder
Cup champs. Do you think the team is as good as it was last year or
possibly even better than last years team? Thank you and Good Luck the rest
of the season!
 
Peter Ferraro: I do not think we are as good as last year. It is a
different team. Every time you move Randy Robitaille, it changes the team.
We have some good young players in the system that will be good players in
the future. We're just missing veteran players. We are also battling some
injuries. That remains to be seen as well..
 
good luck!: when do you think you will make the jump to the bigs?
 
Peter Ferraro: I am pretty happy with the way I have been playing. The jump
to the NHL is a big jump. The opportunity to play and have success in the
NHL is there. For whateve reason, you never know about making the jump from
the AHL..
 
Marc from Quebec: Do you have some great memories of your participation in
the Quebec city pee wee tournament?
 
Peter Ferraro: It is actually the most memorable moment of my life. I
played for the Ry Rangers, which represented the NY Rangers, where I was
the tournament MVP. That was the biggest thing that happened in my career.
I would have been 12 at the time.
 
Jessica from Louisville: Congrats on being named player of the week! I was
wondering if you had any rituals that you did before each game.
 
Peter Ferraro: I don't really have any rituals. I basically go through the
same routine before the game. I dress up 40 minutes before the game and
then take my six laps around the rink. But other than that, I am really not
superstitious..
 
Jen, P-Bruin's fan: You've probably been asked this so many times, but it's
so late into the season and there still isn't a captain. What is the reason
for it? When will you pick one and how do you get to be captain? Also, you
have done a terriffic job the whole entire time you've been with
Providence, we're lucky to have you. Keep up the good work!
 
Peter Ferraro: Good question. I have no idea. I have been questioning that
myself. Maybe when the time comes to make the decision, then we will have
our captain. Our previous captain was Dennis Vaske.
 
Nick: Do you think the Bruins are in the toughest division of the AHL this
year? And who do you think will be your biggest challenge to win the New
England Division?
 
Peter Ferraro: I definitely think our division is the toughest. If you look
at the points, you can see for yourself. I think Hartford will be our
toughest rival; they will be the team to beat.
 
Geoffery in PA: At what point did you realize that you were good enough to
go all the way?
 
Peter Ferraro: I would have to say right, funny as it seems, after I played
pee wee hockey and make it a career and set my sights to it. Fortunately I
made it. Realistically, the biggest eyeopener was playing on the Olympic
team playing other NHL teams, where I achieved a lot of individual success.
 
Harold in Calgary: how do you find the fans in Providence?
 
Peter Ferraro: They are excellent fans, very knowledgable and very loyal
 
yeahbaby: I am a Portland Pirate fan,sorry all the people love you here in
Maine.How does it feel to play against your old collage state. One more
thing where is your brother playing Chris. Well congrats and good
luck!!!!!!!!!!
 
Peter Ferraro: Chris is with the Islanders. When I play in Maine, it brings
back a lot of memories when I played at the University of Maine. I was
there in 92-93 when we won the championship, and then I played in 93-94
with the Olympic team, then came back to play the last few games to finish
the season at Maine.
 
Norvick: Jeff, congrats on being playerof the week. How do you compare
yourself to someof the top players in the league like Christian Matte.
 
Peter Ferraro: He is definitely a very good hockey player and an offensive
talent. When I play in the AHL and NHL, I try not to be a one-way player in
either league. Offensively, I am up right there with the best players. I
also try to practice my defensive game.
 
Corey from Providence: What is the significance of the number "17" which
you are wearing this year. I recall last year you wore number "42"
 
Peter Ferraro: 17 has been my number my whole career. I was asking for it
for my last month with the organization last season. They gave me 42, which
was the only number available at the time.
 
Peter Ferraro: I would like to thank all the fans who have supported me
throughout my career. See you at the games.
