Bluelines

/ˈbluːlaɪnz/ noun

Etymology

Standard English pluralization of 'blueline' (blue + line + s).

Kelly Says

Professional hockey players are so precise with the blue line that they can feel its position through the ice—a tiny edge advantage at the blue line can mean the difference between a legal play and an offsides penalty.
