Every shot this year feels like a mad scramble with defensemen flopping like fish
Galchenyuk wants to get demoted
Why wouldn't he change lines under Sweeney though? Under Bergevin the issue is that Bergevin himself is getting a lot of heat for putting an inept roster, so it's normal that the coach is trying to cover his boss and make things work as quickly as possible.
I have no idea. The lines were the lines from pretty much the start of the year. It was always like that with Julien, whether he succeeded or didn't.
The madness reached its peak in 2014 against the Habs when he refused to make any adjustment as it was obvious the series was slipping away. They had their Cup run in 2011 and Shawn Thornton was only used once injuries took their toll, but for some unknown reason, he could not lose his spot in the playoff lineup after 2011.

And ... another Drouin face-off lost with no offense generated on an o-zone start..
