When a guy goes on injured reserve, he does not count against the cap. So if a guy is making $700 a week and he's out for two weeks, and then you bring in a guy to replace him for $400 a week, you're actually saving $300 a week on the cap. You still pay (the first guy) his full salary; it just doesn't affect the cap. -Michael Franke

It was a real nice crowd for a Wednesday night. I thought this game was a lot of fun. It was penalty-free and you need those kind of games to show good hockey.

Really, that's what we're talking about in this league is a luxury tax. If you're over, you pay a luxury tax. It's not like they take you out to center ice and whip you or shoot you or anything like that. … If some team is way over the cap and they pay the luxury tax, they're not doing anything wrong. They're just paying more money for their players.
