I’d rather Steen in that Smith spot than Kuhlman, he has more offensive upside and great shot getting fed from Hall/Krech would make it even better.
But I expect to see Kuhlman there.

if Smith can't go tomorrow. I would insert Kuhlman
leave Debrusk with the third line.
Bruins don't need another 4th liner in the lineup. Kuhlman can at least skate and bring up the puck himself. Cause some pressure
Would actually love to see Hall and Pasta on the same line. But they won't do it right now
That should tell you how I feel about Kuhlman as anything but a 4th liner.Steen?? he has no playoff experience. Kuhlman does
I like Steen and you are right, he has a better shot. But he is also not the explosive skater Kuhlman is
it makes a difference ... when a team like the Islander want to "clog you"

There’s no time for that lol.Kuhlman needs to use a different stick or work on his passing accuracy somehow. But he does have world class straight line speed and pretty good stamina
There’s no time for that lol.
I think that's a better move. Hall is more versatile than Debrusk, and puts Debrusk in more familiar and steady position for him. I don't see Hall having any issues as he's usually zipping all over anyways.I think you move Hall to RW and go.
Perfection
Debrusk krejci Hall
Ritchie Coyle Koolwhip
4th.
Hall has better hands, can probably handle off wing better than Dbrusk
Debrusk Coyle Lazar
Ritchie Kuraly Wags
Reilly Clifton
Lauzon Tinordi
If this is the case. Would be worried about 3rd pairing. Islanders would probably try to expose with no RHD
I was thinking the same except keeping Clifton with Tinordi as the puck mover and Lauzon with Reilly as the Carlo replacement.Flip flop Tinordi and Lauzon (Lauzon is better suited to his off-side) but otherwise this is spot on. And if it doesn't work, flip-flop Ritchie and Debrusk.

It’s all but a guarantee Bruce sticks with his bottom 6.At this point I just don't know what to do with the 3rd and 4th lines. We play with a hand tied behind our backs some nights.
Islanders are currently much more dependable on their bottom 6, and I was hoping it wouldn't be this much of a gap.
