His line has been in a bit of a downer for the last few games. Your first line has to play like your first line in games like this. The secondaries did their job, but we had no contributions from the heavies. Still, only a fool would think we had a chance against the Caps so I'm not really disappointed.David Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11626138518558099447noreply@blogger.com
