I don't know why some people say he can't make any changes? It isn't about scratching people but by putting together better lines and by changing up the scheme some. Their PK has been terrible for awhile now and it is the way that they play it. You have to be able to adjust, especially against a fast team like Pitt.

I definitely agree. But as a coach, you can't just sit there and not try to shake things up. 27 goals against in 5 games vs the Pens this year. Try something different. Try anything different.
That's why he is dumb. To steal this from FlyTimmo:

Is Weal a better skater that Lehtera ?

Lehtera seems like a bad matchup vs Penguins
Yes...and it's not close.

Weal also had 1 goal+2 assists=3 points on March 25th....AGAINST PITTSBURGH.

Yet he was benched for game 1...and now game 2.

Haklogic.

Yeah & in general just a better hockey player as well. Not that it’s some big game changer but every bit helps.

Hakstol’s preferred method of fighting fire is using jet fuel. He always further plays into the hand of his opponent in pretty much everything he does. The guy is a giant coward.

I mean...what do you expect him to do? Dig up Terry Sawchuck? He could try a thousand lineup combos with their roster and it wouldn't affect the result of this series.
