Coach Maurice: How did he think his team fared?  Line changes/turnovers.  How did he feel about the special teams tonight?  Thoughts on Dmitry Kulikov’s return.  Challenges of the Bruins top line.  Evaluating the trip as a whole. What does he like about Luca Sbisa’s game?  Did he expect that he would have such a big impact for the team?  Looking ahead at the next block of games.  What did he like about Copp on the 2nd line.  Thoughts on the goaltending?
