I liked that line last night, Donato is getting a bit of confidence.
I only saw some of the 3rd because my son’s HS hockey team had it’s opener at 6pm.
Their home rink is the Mullins Practice Rink (at UMass Amherst) and it was crazy last night because UMass was playing Quinnipiac and the rinks are about 50 yards apart.
From the little I saw, it looked like Heinen was with JFK and Donato, not Cave (and Backes)...and the assist was from Donato. When did Cassidy switch up the lines?
How did your sons team do?
Yeah Cassidy did.
It wasnt easy to follow. I think cave and jfk flipped flopped and Donato permanently flipped with Backes after the 1st period.
Cave played 17 min vs JFK 10min. And though Cave wasnt on the scoresheet he did the little things to help
On that Heinen and Donato goals I could have sworn it was Cave on the ice but could be wrong
Another very strong game from Heinen. Gaining some confidence back and getting out of that defence first shell he's been bottled up in.
Pretty sure it was JFK? I have not had a chance to watch the rest of the game yet.
Our high school team won 9-2...UMass with the come from behind win over Quinnipiac...B's spank the Laffs.
He does look far more willing to try to dangle D now, instead of just making the “safe” play.
Goes back to the fact that the mental part of the game is huge. The goal vs TOR shows that he actually has some hands, and isn’t “talentless” (as some have stated)? I’m not sure why he wasn’t trying to attack more earlier in the year? I guess confidence can be a huge thing.
Really no bump after that goal tonight?
Breaks his stick blocking the shot. has to swing by the bench for a stick changer, yet is able to make it to the side of the net before the defense can get back, and then makes a magical self pass from his skate to the stick and pops it into the net.
Looks like Glorydaze was right on this and about 37 posters wrong
Confidence is like gasoline - can’t go anywhere without itI hope the kid scores 20 more, but even with his 3 pts. in the last 5 he’s only got 4 in the last 15, and still only on pace for around 25 for the season.
He’s playing better for sure though, hope he keeps it up because they need it.

He’s got it back and playing with fellow yutes he’s the veteran of the line and playing very well
I hope so.
I don’t dislike the kid.....just find the free ride he gets to be frustrating.
He’s one of the rare Bruins whose strengths tend to be vastly overrated and whose weaknesses are minimized by a large % of posters here.
Free ride = getting **** on by a large percentage of the fan base? I think you are vastly overrating the “love” he gets here and by the B’s fanbase in general (in social media).
While he’s been slumping, it’s been me and a couple other posters vs what seems like a much larger negative group. Maybe you are just the Vocal Minority (I doubt it).
ps I was disappointed, no love for Heinen’s goal on NHL on the Fly’s plays of the night
