I should add that I start with that lineup and adjust as needed. But I think that's your best shot at winning. On D, same principle: Chara-McAvoy Krug-Carlo Grz-Miller McQuaid and Holden are relief, with Holden in for any of the puck movers and McQuaid for any of the stay at home guys. Yep, the depth that we have allows for short leashes based on either play, or on matchups. If someone isn't matching up well, we have someone chomping at the bit to get in there and do better. There isn't a team in the league that wants to mess with these Bruins. We are top 10 without half our best players. Top 3 in the league if not the best when healthy. Plus we have that super-clutch "it" factor a la 2011. This team consistently finds ways to win, and is lead by the same guys who brought us the cup in 2011 as well. Mojo is a real thing and we got it! |

Bergeron-Marchand-Pastrnak DeBrusk-Krejci-Nash Donato-Nash-Backes Heinen-Kuraly-Gionta Yeah, Id like to keep the fourth line together for their energy, but I think Heinen and Gionta are too big an upgrade to sit on the bench, that's almost another 3rd line. Schaller and Acciari will play with injuries that are sure to come. You could flip Heinen and Donato here as well. I think all 4 of those lines can score. Chara-McAvoy Krug-Miller Grzelyck-Holden This is real tough with the depth the Bs have on D. As good as Holden is, Grz has been too good to sit. The last spot between L Holden and R Carlo was a bit of a toss up. I think right now, Holden is just better and he is experienced playing his off side, so I went with what I feel is the best 6 guys. What have you liked about Gionta? Can I have an extension? My dog ate my homework |

I'll give it a shot:
March-Bergy-Pasta
DeBrusk-DK-RN61
Heinen-Backes-Donato
Schaller-RN20-Kuraly
Acciari, Wingles, and Gionta sit. Sh
Chara-McAvoy
Miller-Krug
Grizz- [Carlo or Holden]

If you need an injection of something, make the change |

If you need an injection of something, make the change Given the recent injury shuffle, it's not like finding a way to sub Donato in for Acciari is a big deal. Certainly not "breaking up what got [them] here." The first two lines go back to what they were, the 4th line improves, and the third line stays about the same - gaining offense but losing defense. But I also wouldn't be upset if they went back to the same 3rd and 4th lines. I just think Donato's offense is more valuable than what Acciari brings. In fact, even with no other changes, I think I'd prefer Wingles there. But it won't matter, if The Rick doesn't co.e back. And that's a concern. |

Leaving the top six together is a given, but do you want to break up nash heinen And backes? I don’t. Putting Donato on the fourth line changes the identity of that line entirely and I think it would make it worse |

I really don't have a problem "breaking up" that line. I don't disagree that I wouldn't put Donato on the 4th line if you really think keeping the 3d line together is important. But I would put Wingles there over Acciari, as of today. Again, not that I don't like Acciari or think he's done a good job on that line. But Wingles can do everything he can while adding some offense. |

Donato in for Acciari should work as well as Seguin in for Thornton in 2011.

Personally i would leave the 4th alone, Schaller-Kuraly-Acciari has been everything a 4th line is supposed to be, energy and a relentless forecheck, with 11/6/8 gls respectively. All of them can also play the PK if needed and that is a bonus. I believe Cassidy has a decision to make in regards to DeBrusk, Heinen or Donato on who sits. With DeBrusk already out with what appears to be a head injury, his decision has been made easy at least for now. As it is DeBrusk hasn't even been skating yet, so his hit to the noggin is still lingering. Heinen has been very good recently. I can't imagine any reason he should sit. |

what a shame. Carlo had been so so good the last couple weeks.
Chara - Fatavoy
Krug - Miller
Grizz - Holden.
Can't keep Grizz out of the lineup now.

Ye all would sit a kid on pace for 47goals. Not likely
Donato plays
If Kuraly healthy. He Nash and Shall be reunited
I would try NashA with Backes and Heinen
Cassidy will not be afraid to try different mixtures and has usually been right

If the current experiment with Donato on DK's right continues to work, and every one is healthy, I think Rick Nash plays with Backes and Heinen. And I like that line. Although I also wouldn't mind seeing Wingles take Heinen's spot. Heinen kind of looks like he's hit a wall lately. And a Wingles, Backes, Rick Nash line would be damned hard to play against.

This would have been accurate 2 weeks ago. Heinen has been very good lately Not really. He still tends to disappear for whole games. Edit: Let me put it this way. You are right that he came back from hitting the wall - poor terminology on my part. But since that "recovery," he has started to disappear again. Even with his assist today - the second assist after having his shot blocked - he's barely been visible. Did he play yesterday? I know having his center go out early didn't help, but I barely noticed him. |

As much as I like Ryan Donato, I want Rick Nash on Krejci's line. The first Flyers goal was a direct result of DeBrusk and Donato colliding in the Flyers' zone after the face off. They had at least one more keystone cops moment later in the game. I think Donato could be a great match with two grinders like Wingels and Backes, and you could also put Heinen in there. Let's just hope both "Nash Brothers" come back soon. |

And regardless of what I'd like to see a) DK should have some say; and b) whatever Butch decides is fine with me. He's earned the right not to have lineup decisions overly criticized. |

“Per Bruce Cassidy, it was a maintenance day for Noel Acciari. Expects him to be fine for Thursday.
Riley Nash did not skate today. Rick Nash and Sean Kuraly were full participants, “bodes well for them.”
Need Riley now.

Lines look as should be expected. Donato is a great 13th forward with his sweet hands and NHL shot, but he’s significantly worse than other options away from the puck. If everyone’s healthy the other options are better this year.

Although I also could see using Kuraly or Acciari as 3rd line center, and keeping Wingles on the 4th line - meaning Gionta and Donato would be healthy scratches. Donato is kind of a nice guy to have waiting in the wings if the Bs need offense cone game 3 or 4. |

The intensity is about to get ramped up to 11 and the last thing Boston needs is a shell shocked rookie. They’ve got enough of those. Donato gets in at some point, but I like the guy with 111 playoff games to kick things off. |

It's just that the Bs didn't get where they are by being overly conservative. |
