[Jean_Jacket41]

Marchand-Bergy-Backes
Bjork-Krejci-Pasta
Spooner/Vatrano-JFK-Stafford
Moore-Nash-Acciari
Kuraly/Hayes/Beleskey/Schaller

Chara-Carlo
Krug-McQuaid
C.Miller-K.Miller
Liles

Rask

 

[Mainehockey33]

Marchand-Bergeron-Backes
Spooner-Krejci-Pastrnak
Vatrano-JFK-Beleski
Acchiari-Moore-Nash

Chara-Carlo
Macquaid-Krug
K Miller-Mcavoy

That 3rd line might need some tweaking.

I have no clue what to do about the forward lines, especially with Acciari's status unknown.

But for the D, if both Krug and Carlo are out, then I'd go with:

Chara - Kevan
Liles - McQuaid
Cross - Colin

Doubt cross will play ahead of morrow

Doubt cross will play ahead of morrow

I've always liked Morrow, more than most, and still think he could be a solid 3rd pairing puck-moving D-man even if he doesn't put up big numbers.

That being said, he's played 6 games of NHL hockey since December 4th, and in addition to 3 games in Providence during his conditioning stint, that's a total of 9 games in the last 130 days as of next Wednesday.

No way can I justify tossing him into a playoff game at this stage unless the Bruins are absolutely desperate.

As far as left-shot D-men go, he's behind Cross, Gryz, and O'Gara in these eyes because he simply hasn't played enough, even if one could argue he's the superior player.

And if it's to add a 3rd pairing partner for Colin Miller, Cross to me is the best option based on his age, experience, and performance in Providence.

Cross might be ok as a third pairing guy

Cross might be ok as a third pairing guy

Will probably require leaning harder on the top 4 but as the 3rd pair I think he is capable.

Let Liles step onto the 1st PP, Colin the 2nd, and Cross slids onto the PK pairings.

Hopefully Carlo is OK and it's a non-issue, but if he was concussed, I would assume he's done until the 2nd week of the playoffs at the very least.
