Not having Pavel leaves a big hole on this team, but we have a lot of guys who can fill that hole.

In baseball, they come back and start over the next day after a rainout, even if it's 4-0. But this is the way the NHL wanted it.

Pretty much everywhere we go, there's been a lot of excitement this year. Everyone seems to be enjoying the game.
