Who is Michael Bunting

Who is Michael Bunting

McDavid's cousin.

 

[Muppet]

Good question.

 

[SCT]

The Coyotes aren't the entire league though. Bunting was hidden behind NPCs like Fasching, Chaput, Hunt, Caggiula etc... and he has been this same player for years. It shouldn't happen. The link between Tucson and the big club just isn't there. Something is off.

I agree he should have been up much sooner. He plays with an edge and can score.

Explanation from NHL Situation Room.
It was determined that Arizona’s Conor Garland legally tagged up at the blue line before Michael Bunting entered the offensive zone with the puck on his stick. Bunting delayed touching the puck in the offensive zone so Garland could tag up.

Kings broadcast said Bunting 'didn't have control' per the officials, which doesn't look right at all based on the still.

They must suffer some penalty for having a call turned over period, even if the final call is more correct. Bureaucratic nonsense behind the scenes. Only explanation.

Does Tyson Nash know that 6” off the ice doesn’t get you above the pad?

LA broadcast showed the Bunting thing in slow mo. He touched it on the neutral zone side of the blueline and then let it go. It was inches away from his blade. So refs got it right.

 

[MayDayMayDay]

We are calling him "Cakes". I will die on this hill.

Also, has anyone made the obligatory joke that the best way to get over a hat trick hangover is to keep hat tricking?

Hair of the Coyote.

I wonder how much better Keller would look if he wasn't wasting brainpower on chewing his mouthguard like an idiot.

Another one on Gross

Must be a St Louis thing

BA is new so maybe that could be an issue.

But Tocchet has seen these guys in preseason for years. He should know what's there. I want to see Pederson get more time. Give Burke 3 games too. Just see what's there.

Patrick Kane does it, and Keller started doing it because he wanted to be Patrick Kane. He admitted as much in an interview a while back (when he was drafted? I can't remember for sure).

Burke seems to be having a rough go of it this year, hoping he can find his confidence and make the team in the fall.

He hasn't put on the weight in all his pro years. I don't think he gets qualified.

So do we Clayton, so do we.



More seriously, he's been a decent bounce back player for us this year. Just need him to take the next step.

 

[BigJCaRoach]

Not a fan of Mr Gross

 

[Neighborhood Coyote]

Hill with that great save.

Game seems to have a bit of everything.

Stop icing the puck!!!
