First Line
Flash — Backstrom — Kozzie were awesome tonight. Is that our new first line? LOL.
Feds is taking a jillion minor penalties as of late. Feds, you’re supposed to be setting a good example for the kids on your line, not taking lessons from them.

Injured vs Buffalo and he missed the most games with the flu of our folks in March — three games.)
