Over reaction after 2 games

Description
So the Bruins are 1-0-1 after 2 games against the devils and only have 3 goals and 0 at 5 on 5 which is less than ideal.
Marchand and Bergeron have looked good through two games especially Marchand. Krejci has been okay, Kase has been solid but now seems to possibly have a concussion, DeBrusk is invisible and seems to be bringing down his line mates. Ritchie was good in game one and ehhhh in game 2. Coyle was solid in game 1 and absolutely brutal today. Bjork and Studnicka have both been nonexistent on the top line and Craig Smith was pretty good I have no complaints about him. The 4th line was good especially Frederic.
Now the defence, Lauzon bounced back nicely after a lacklustre game one and McAvoy has been good besides some bad penalties. Grz had an excellent first game and the complete opposite today and Carlo had a solid first game and wasn’t good today either. Zboril has been the second best defencmen out there and looks good, Miller has been okay and good physically.

Rask and Halak are elite.


What do you think of these lines for the next game assuming Kase misses it.

I guess it can also work but I would keep Smith on L3. Ritchie-Coyle-Smith didn't really have much time together with Kase's injury. Hopefully he's good to go by the way.

Marchand I get it (even though most of the Devils fans don't like him because of the hit on Johansson but both had a talk and played together for 3-4 months) but why McAvoy lol

Yeah Marchand because of his dirty play and having three points. McAvoy punched Kuokkanen in the back of the head today for no reason.

Kuraly has been brutal. He's noticeably bad and Coyle hasn't been bad either. He wasn't "brutal" today by any means. DeBrusk looks lost more than anything

If you think Coyle wasn’t brutal you must of skipped OT

He wasn't brutal. He may have made a brutal play, but overall his game has been solid. Also, most of the Bruins have been brutal in OT. Gryz and Kuraly were way worse.

Today just wasn't their day. Couldn't find their game all game. Chemistry doesn't happen by the snap of the fingers. It needs time. No need to start drastically changing the lineup.

That second line has been disappointing, their shifts are nonexistent at times. DeBrusk seems to have picked up where he left off... very disappointing. Not a fun sight to have game 2, be the first game Cassidy jumbles up all the lines looking for offense. Like you said... Gryz, Coyle both played well below their best.

I think i may lean on Studnicka staying with Marchand- Bergeron, and Smith staying with Coyle.

BUT - Lauzon bounced back, Zboril has been extremely composed and looks like a player. Hoping the goalies can keep the team above water while the rest of the team figures itself out, I'm optimistic it will.
