CHICAGO -- Amid the serious and often grim business of the Stanley Cup playoffs, Matt Dumba can't stop smiling.
Dumba is a having a blast, like a kid on Christmas morning. Except that it's all happening every single day during the playoffs and not just once a year. Ahhh, that kind of youthful enthusiasm. ... This is his first NHL playoff experience, and even if he is a bit wide-eyed, he's making a solid contribution as his ice time increases and he settles in as a fixture on the Wild blue line.
"Yeah, it's fun," he said Sunday afternoon.
