I guess the biggest question mark for me is if the first line doesn’t score who besides Debrusk will come through ? Heinen slotting back in is a no brainer but what do we do with lines 2 and 3 ? It just isn’t working as of late . Initially I would put Heinen with Krejci and Debrusk and Nash - Nash - Backes .As a wise person reminded me:
Deep breaths, believe in this team and stay the course.
We didn’t give up when they started off rocky or when they faced tough situations. We can’t give up on them now.
I’m frustrated beyond belief, partially for non hockey reasons, but I’ve gotta channel this frustration and keep fighting.
They can do this and have done it before. I wish I had a list of changes to reccomend but I don’t. The only thing I do feel strongly about is that I still don’t think inserting Donato is a great idea but I’m open to having my mind changed.
I know this is vastly different what I posted at the end of the GDT but again, nothing like a gentle reminder not to change things after one game.
I think I need to dig into the way back machine for the GDT..
I guess this is where the Donato discussion begins?I guess the biggest question mark for me is if the first line doesn’t score who besides Debrusk will come through ?

I see some of this

I’m having trouble figuring out who I’d sit
What a bunch of losers. I’m done
Pregame thread up. I like it. Put game 6 behind us and let's go get 'em in game 7. I'm worried that Andersen is in theirs heads. There were a few too many extra passes and shots just wide in game 6. To me, that says they're trying to be a little too fine. Get shots through the slot, where the Leafs are clogging up, and get pucks to the front of the net. Wristers through traffic are just fine by me. No use in taking a slapper if it's just going to hit a leg.
Caring this much about this team has to be detrimental to my health. Once they missed the playoffs twice in a row I thought I had moved passed this but I guess not.
Anyway, I’d reinsert Heinen and put him with Krejci/Debrusk. Rick Nash looked mostly good last night. I’d consider also sitting Riley Nash in favor of Wingels or Donato
Interesting. As I mentioned in the GDT yesterday, I’m past caring like I once did. I still watch and I still want them to win. I think it’s a combination of factors including “life” happening and experiencing real heartbreak that’s put hockey in its place for me.
Still, thinking back about it, I was plenty pissed off in 2013. I stopped caring quite as much when Clode was canned and even “hate watched” them the rest of that season.
Sure, I hope they do well. Its funny though. This happened to me earlier with the other sports where I stopped caring if I missed a game here and there. I swore it’d never happen with the Bruins, yet here we are.
Now, having said all that, they’d better ****ing take care of business tomorrow night!
