a lot of pro players do speedlings just to deny the scout nowdays, in this matchup its important for the toss to react to the zerg build, and they cant really do that with the defensive speedlings
Going for the speedlings here is really useful as the Protoss is forced to prepare for several different builds and you actually end up a little bit ahead with it.
I wouldn't call 9pool useless there - what could he have done? Go all in 2-3 hatch lings or nothing - 9pool forces toss to start with forge+2cannons instead of nexus-forge and with speed, which he eventually needs anyway, he can keep the scout off asap.
And he cancelled eggs because they were on destroyed hatchery's location where he wanted to make a new one asap.
No. It's not useless, poor choice of words on my part, but it did set Squall back slightly as you can see by the Nex and the Hatch starting at the same time. Usually the Zerg wants his starting before the Nex.

Not to mention the speedlings can cut off scouting Probes.
Although KR never really seem too concerned about the Mutalisks though, he played very well and collected.

I thought Kr 2-0'd Squall? Did you do the fake replay, or is the discussion thread wrong?
