Pasta with coyle and jojo would actually be good to fix him and get him easier match ups

If that happens though they'd need to probably go back to Kuhlman with Krejci. Don't think someone like Wagner should be playing on the 2nd line.
This sounds good to me. Kuhlman could play on the right side with MJ/CC too... Love Wagner but he doesn't have that kind of game.

For game 3
Marchand Bergeron Heinen
Debrusk Krejci Kuhlman
Mojo Coyle Backes
Wagner Acciari Kuraly
Chara McAvoy
Krug Carlo
Grz Moore/Clifton
Rask
Pastrnak needs to sit a game either to give more time to heal his hand or just sit for playing incredibly poor. The way he has played recently is unacceptable.

I think it might be time to talk about Pasta being replaced.
I know he is trying to contribute and is putting up points, but his giveaways are numerous and it's easy to defend against him.
He has no power and little control with his stick. Can't shoot, barely pass, can't keep control of the puck when pressured. Whack his stick and he loses the puck, very easy to play against right now.
Treat the hand, put in Kuhlman on the Krejci line, give Backes a shot on the Coyle line.
I think Bergy, Krejci, and DeBrusk are also playing hurt. But at least they are not causing most of the problems right now that we are seeing. Pasta's issues are glaring.
Besides, who are we going to put in at C to replace either Krejci or Bergeron? Move up Coyle for certain, but have two 4th lines again? Call up Frederick? I'm not sure he is ready for this yet...

Woof. Sitting an elite talent like Pastrnak is and will always be an awful suggestion. He shouldn't play if he's seriously injured. That's it.
Suggesting this is such a fan panic move. Thank God Bruce doesn't do half the stuff said on this site.
IMO you can not bench neither remove Pastrnak from the line up. Plus he played his better look in overtime. He needs to adapte his game to PO imo. He has less time and needs in my pov to simplify his game and shoot from everywhere. Pastrnak will come through, i just beleive going head to head with the Panain line Pastrnak needs to be replace as they did by Heinen. 88 with Coyle and more physical player with lesser opponent force might be the solution. I would try it.

Backes can hit and we could use that but not on the 3rd line. He is too slow and will anchor down Coyle to being useless. Put Backes on the 4th line, move Kuraly up, he has speed.
I really think Kulman would be physicaly overmathed and won’t bring what will be needed in Columbus.
I am very concern with the physical aspect that Columnus will bring in Columbus. Boston were getting hit furiously in Boston. We need size in Columbus.. it is going to be a war and Boston will herit most of the bombs throwing in that game

Backes (rested when others are not) will have the legs for one game. ONE.
Use it wisely.

Columbus physicality is overblown. If it mattered so much maybe they would have been better than the 8 seed.

With his size, this is his kind of series. Could you play him alternating games? As we saw in Toronto, when he plays consecutive games, his speed drops significantly.
Cassidy had the last chamge which he will not have. Columbus at home is s much more physical game.. that building is loud.
Boston is a much less physical away team.

Boston outhit them in the first with big popping hits but Columbus definitely won the overall battle yesterday because their bigger guys controlled the boards.
Or they are running hot right now? I'll take the significant sample over... 6 games.
That is playoff... how are you playing in a small sample period like a PO series....is more important than the big season sample...ask Tampa!
