lines stick
I think that we're getting there, ... Those are two lines that could stick for a while.
game line night team weird
I thought when the game was on the line we were the better team on a night when a lot of weird things happened.
bit continue four guys keeping lines playoffs position rolling
We'll continue to play the way we have been, rolling all four lines and keeping the same guys in the lineup. We want to be in a position where we go into the playoffs with a bit of momentum.
couple lines played together
We haven't played for a couple years, so there's a couple lines I'd like to play together and see if there's still chemistry.
bull five four goals grabbed line second
That line just grabbed the bull by the horns. They could have had four or five goals in the second period.
bit change guys instant lines playing seemed spark stale
It seemed like the lines had a little bit of instant chemistry. Sometimes you go a little bit stale with the guys you're playing with, and just a change sometimes, that'll spark players.
frustrated great line lines pick three

areas bit consistent defensive game looking offense penalty pitch pressure relieve
We need to do more offensively. If we're better offensively it will relieve a little bit of the pressure on our goaltenders so that they don't always have to pitch a one-goal game for us to get points. Our penalty killing and defensive play has always been strong, so more offense and more consistent goaltending are the two areas we are looking to improve.

We had a chance to knock him down behind the net. That play there was disappointing.
