Despite having a goals-against average in the bottom third of the league (2.92), Bowman reiterated his belief in the roster.
“If you watch our team, we certainly get excited to score goals,” Bowman said. “We need them to be equally excited to keep the puck out of the net. We’ve shown we’ve been able to do it before in spurts. We haven’t been able to do it consistently.
“I like our personnel. We’re trying to upgrade. It’s not like we’ve got guys playing that can’t play in the NHL. We certainly have guys that can improve on their level of play. But at the same time, we’re just trying to enhance our group as opposed to completely remake it.”
It sounded as if Bowman might have been interested in acquiring Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Tim Gleason or the Anaheim Ducks’ Francois Beauchemin.
But Bowman ruled out a move for either player after they signed long-term deals with their teams.

- Duncan Keith was minus-2 and on the ice for all three goals-against. He missed a puck in the third period that went through him and to Iginla who scored on a breakaway.
“Our positioning was fine, we just missed the puck,” Quenneville said. “It was a break for them.” - The Hawks lost their seventh consecutive road game and season high fifth-in-a-row overall.
Glad you like your team StanBow & Pops. ............ Just got my playoff invoice in the mail. McDunnough jacked the prices it looks like 20%. Gotta pay for StanBow & Pops' Huet and Olecz mistakes.
Nice play Duncan!!
