You may lose a lot, but you also get some nice checkmates by throwing pieces around.
Lost 4 or 5 blitz games, then when I was about to lose this one...

Throw pieces around and hope for some luck. That works sometimes 😀
On the other hand your opponent needs to stop playing the stonewall. It's a crap opening.
