Yep, out. Projected D pairs:Krug not on the ice for warmups per Conroy
Krug has been playing through something for a while. Took a fairly nothing hit last game along the boards but skated back to the bench immediately, holding a shoulder or elbow or something. Another dreaded UBI probably.What happened to Rick Nash and Krug? Depth really, really being tested at this point.
He's definitely on the hot seat. When is he going to step up?Are you guys concerned with the slow start Donato has had in Boston? lol
A crazy part of me wants to leave 63-20-88 together and see what Donato could do on a line with Bergy.Are you guys concerned with the slow start Donato has had in Boston? lol
If DeBrusk can get back for some part of the playoffs he’s gonna be a fucking monster playing on Nash’s LW, cuz Donato is making his case to stay with Krejci.Riley Nash is going to be a fucking monster when he goes back the the 3rd line after all this experience with Marchand.
They’d be insane to split up 63 and 37. Moving 88 elsewhere and putting Donato with 63 and 36 isn’t all that crazy but I don’t see it happening.A crazy part of me wants to leave 63-20-88 together and see what Donato could do on a line with Bergy.
I'm not taking Donato away from Krejci. It just works. Try Bergeron with DeBrusk and Backes if you want to keep Nash Marchand and Pasta together. Christ imagine how many 3rd D pairs Bergeron would see in that scenario?A crazy part of me wants to leave 63-20-88 together and see what Donato could do on a line with Bergy.
I was sort of thinking the same thing. Seeing how well Riley has played with Marchand and Pasta gives them some flexibility I think, depending on matchups in the playoffs. Against teams that are top-heavy and matching up heavily vs the top line, they can mix it up a little bit once in a while.A crazy part of me wants to leave 63-20-88 together and see what Donato could do on a line with Bergy.
Yes on Monday night.Kevan Miller wearing an A tonight.
Has that happened before?
Makes sense, I was only half watching that night.Yes on Monday night.
However they mix and match them, whatever ends up being the third line is going to be an impossible matchup for whoever faces them. DeBrusk-Riley-Backes could absolutely pummel teams into submission. Heinen-Kuraly-Acciari as a fourth line?In that scenario, Donato/Debrusk-Krejci-Rick is a monster 3rd line
I’d pair Miller with Krug and Holden on Grz’s right, but, yeah.When everyone is healthy?
Marchand-Bergeron-Pasta
Donato-Krejci-Rick Nash
DeBrusk-Riley Nash-Backes
Heinen-Kuraly-Gionta
Wingels
Acciari
Chara/McAvoy
Krug/Carlo
Holden/Miller
Grzelcyk
McQuaid
You missed Schaller. And I would flip Carlo and Miller in your lineup.When everyone is healthy?
Marchand-Bergeron-Pasta
Donato-Krejci-Rick Nash
DeBrusk-Riley Nash-Backes
Heinen-Kuraly-Gionta
Wingels
Acciari
Chara/McAvoy
Krug/Carlo
Holden/Miller
Grzelcyk
McQuaid
Yeah Grzelcyk is getting to the point where you can't take him out of the lineup. He's been much better than Carlo.I’d have Grz in for Carlo, but something like that.
