Pearl of Wisdom #7


"We were getting a little stale five-on-five, and it reinvigorated our power play, too. These guys have been playing together for two years, so we tried a different grouping, just shifting people around. It's worked. It's worked really well."

-Coach Paul Pearl, from Jen Toland's game story in the Telegram & Gazette of Saturday, February 4, discussing his lineup change of five games ago. Pearl moved talented sophomore Dale Reinhardt to the second line, joining Tyler McGregor and Blair Bartlett. Pierre Napert-Frenette was swapped to the first line, joining Bubba Sixsmith and Sean Nappo. So far, Coach Pearl is looking like a genious with that change!
