Hak Line loses faceoff then gets thoroughly dominated and then we take a penalty.

In fairness to MacDonald, he's being used where he shouldn't be. It's not his fault he's being asked to do far more than he should. Hakstol shouldn't have him on the shutdown pair with Provorov.

Provorov-Gudas
Schultz-Ghost
MDZ-Mac
Would be a better choice.

Or Hexy does his job and takes some of the options away .

Shh, we only acknowledge the mistakes of certain players.

Once Morin is up everything will be fine because he will tie up/box out guys in front every time without taking a penalty.

He doesn't do that at the AHL level but I'm sure it'll happen automatically in the NHL.

I think he's trying to avoid the bolded pairing. Those two would get torched together, though the top-4 would be much improved. It's kind of a lose-lose situation until some of these guys get replaced.

You will say anything to deflect off the criticism of AMac.

It's almost on Boxcar level.

Yeah that pair would be awful but I think by improving the top 4 you can shelter them a bit and minimize the damage.

It's worth a try at least.
