Dominik Hasek didn't commit one way or another to playing another season after Tuesday's series-ending 4-3 loss to Anaheim. But coach Mike Babcock and Hasek's teammates believe Hasek can still play next season if he so desires. "Why not?" said Babcock, when asked if Hasek could still play next season. Babcock has yet to speak with Hasek about the future. "I haven't and I'm not going to for a while," Babcock said. "Our whole focus, as you can imagine, was just on doing this and everyone's disappointed right now. "But we'll have an opportunity to talk to Dom and kind get our business plan, too, (as to) where we're going."
