Obviously, we're hoping they get something done and get him here in the next few days or however long it would take for him to fly over.

I'm not mad at him or anything. He's an aggressive player, and he plays hard. That's what I would expect.

We knew they would get better as the game went on because they're a young group with young legs. We just needed some bounces.

Having Pavel will help us. The new rules are going to help players with skill, like Pavel.

It seems like a lot of mixed messages are being sent Kenny's way (from Datsyuk's agent). Hopefully, they'll get that straightened out and get a deal done.

It's nice to be in familiar surroundings again. I'm looking forward to the first on-ice practice (Tuesday). It's good to be back.

He may not put the numbers up that he used to, but he brings a lot more to the table, in the dressing room and the bench and even the composure he has on the ice.

It's nice to be in familiar surroundings again. It's kind of a normal routine that we're used to. We're looking forward to the first on-ice, and seeing all the familiar faces and that. It's just good to be back again.

He skated with us down at the Joe this past week before we came up here, and he looks like he's in as good a shape as anybody else. With the injuries that he's had, with his knees and stuff like that, it just shows that he's still got the work ethic and the desire to play. He still competes, and he hates losing as much as anybody, whether it's a game or a one-on-one battle.
