That continues to this day from the 1st game until now. Other teams top lines running around in our zone while our 4th line / 3rd pairing are playing like beached whales.
This guy is delusional. I thought the young coaches were supposed to adapt quicker to changing times. The game these days is all about line matching and match-ups.

I didn't hear it that way. IMO what he's saying is it's impossible to avoid having a bad matchup from time to time, especially on the road, and every line needs to be able to handle it if that happens.
And FWIW he was doing a lot of hard line matching against the Preds.
