Deas: Läste en intressant sak som nog kan ställa till problem gällande möjligheten att köpa ut spelare från sina kontrakt och därmed slippa räkna in dessa i lönetaket.
"If a player has just the 2005-06 season remaining on his contract, he can be bought out at two-thirds of his salary without it counting against the cap. If his contract extends beyond next season, a portion of the buyout in subsequent years will go against the cap. That will hamper the New York Rangers if they want to buy out Bobby Holik or Darius Kasparaitis."
Rip Kirby: skulle säga att detta var nyckeln gällande det mentala, nu kan man inte bli svepta, man lyckades studsa tillbaka OCH äntligen få ett mål från förstakedjan. Nu kan det släppa och man har ingen kniv mot strupen i Vegas.
