I know in a couple of charities that I'm involved with, we have a component for that at Partners for Quality.

And there's always people who are less fortunate than you.

And I always tell people to look at it that way.

Consider yourself lucky if you have your health, number one, and if you have just basics in life, because that's all you really need.

And some people don't.

So when they don't, you got to help out.

And this is a great way to do it.

No, but Dan Muse said today that this was not the same thing that had hindered him before.

So it's a new injury, I suppose, and it's listed as day-to-day.

But they certainly need him, especially down the stretcher with only 12 games left.

Joe and one of them tonight, they got a tough week.

They got this game.

Ottawa's on the heels of just about everyone.

I mean, they're playing well.

They limited the Rangers to nine shots on goal last night, and the Penguins go there on Thursday, then return home to Dallas.

So this is a bad time for any injuries.

They've just gotten pretty much everyone back, with the exception of Ryan Shea.

So now they're going to have to shuffle up their lines again against, I'm sure, a very motivated Avalanche team, which got pretty much pummeled by the Penguins in Denver.

I'm going to stick to my original prediction at the beginning of the season and say yes, they will.

I still think they have something about this team, and we've seen it largely throughout the course of the whole year.
