I feel for Bennett, you start him as your 4th line LW then quarter way through the game you move him back to centre. Yet you cannot load up/bump up Lindholm to the first line RW in-game because they feel it will be an adjustment for the player.
You are down, you load up the top line with your top players. Pens do it with Crosby/Malkin, heck Edmonton does it with Drai and McJesus. Ward needs to go if he can’t make simple in game adjustments.
Top that off, you have Rittich start the third not come in with 15 minutes remaining. What an embarrassment to Markstrom. He made the same mistake during the playoffs with Talbot and Rittich. Just terrible and frustrating to see such an amateur coach.
