I sure like the four line balance when they're all given fair ice time to make some noise. All four lines managed offense. I still think that with a more talented winger with Begin and Bonk, that line would score way more. Downer got a tap in because of great work and passing by Bonk and begin.
When we talk chemistry, we seem to leave out Bonk and Begin but they have the best chemistry on the team, defense and offense! I wouldn't split these two up but just add a better winger. Maybe if Gainey has to absolutely use Downer then throw him with Plecs and call that the fourth line.

What I like right now is the fact that we are finding ways to win. Sometimes the guys ar enot scoring and Huet shuts them down...last night Boston gets 3 and the boys find a way to score 5 on Thomas, a pretty good goalie in his own right. Good teams find a way to win on a given night.
