Coach Maurice:  Was last night’s game the best example of all four lines rolling?  The difficulty in getting all four lines clicking at the same time.  What got the 2nd line going?  What is the plan for Vesalalinen going forward?  How does the trip to Finland factor in for Vesalainen?  How would the Roslovic line get so few shifts against Edmonton vs the game against Vancouver?  Does he worry about limiting Perreault’s minutes?  On expectations for the 1st line?  Thoughts on the Coyotes.
