It's not so much that. I think what Bunting does is what Sid needs on his line more than Malkin does. Raks and Geno are already going in like bulls into the offensive zone so Bunting is kind of just hanging back too much.
I'd go:
Bunting, Crosby, Rust
O'Connor, Malkin, Rakell
Beauvillier/Hayes, Eller, Puljujarvi
Hayes/Beauvillier, Glass, Acciari

Adnan Virk is fine, but Messier sucks ass, if Prime wants to make this fun, get someone else to engage with Virk. That bloke is fine but has two dull af hosts with him also for the love of hockey amazon, figure out the f***ing stat graphics to show us some info.

Solid road game from start to finish to be honest. Well done!!
I don't know what Jarry was doing on the 1st goal but overall he made the stops he needed to!!
Eller you keep this up we will get a nice haul at the deadline!!

Happy to get the win, great game from Geno again, the third line looked pretty decent and the fourth line is at least a lot better than what we saw last year (which isnt saying much). Was expecting Jarry to shit the bed in the third after a collectively bad second period, so happy to see him come up big in the third, and hopefully he can build on that.
The same issues remain however, the D looks shaky, and the first line is flat out bad right now and needs changed somehow. And Sully still needs to get his head out of his ass.

Beau doesn't belong in the lineup, let alone on Sid's wing.
Sully said that he likes what L1 has been doing...

Points from the big guns is about all I give a shit about anymore. Happy for Hayes--seems like a good dude.

I assume that failed clear in the final minutes will get Beau off the top line for life.Beau doesn't belong in the lineup, let alone on Sid's wing.

I think this win demonstrates exactly who they are. They are a middling team that will beat fellow playoff bubble teams like Detroit and Montreal but fail against true contenders like Toronto and New York. They will come out flying, then lay and egg, then turn it back on. A full 60-minute game seems to escape them yet again.
Anyone watching expecting an automatic win anymore is not in touch with reality. The top 10 teams expect a loss. The middle 10 expect a 50/50 game. The bottom 10 expect a win.
On top of all that, Jarry is who he's been - soft and inconsistent. I would take absolutely nothing good away for this game for him. This was a "go thank the forwards for saving you from f***ing up"
Positive note, depth scoring is MUCH improved vs last year.

Also did Rakell hit 3 posts? Did I count right?

+++Malkin
++Eller, Hayes, Rakell's shot
+Sully for putting Malkin out for the empty netter and Malkin for converting
+Jarry 3rd period
------Jarry 1st and 3rd goals. Awful
----Letang on 2nd goal, just about as awful

Forslund is really good. I wish he was our pbp guy.
Getzoff isn't terrible but Forslund is probably my favorite pbp guy right now tbh. Dunno why the Canes let him go
+Shea & Pulju in. Good change after last game and our start to the year.
+Pulju - he's been playing better every game with us. He's big, skates hard, hits, and may have some skill. I like him so far.
+BMR they've often controlled the pace of play when together. Bunting is tenacious, Rak is steady. Good wingers and combo.
+Eller. Good player.
Overall, excited for the season. But I was the last couple of years, too. Our aging players are still really good, albeit a tad slower. Our bottom 6 and complimentary players are potentially capable and versatile. I like it so far.
Biggest concern is Sullivan. He seems to always "discipline" the wrong guys instead of the specific guys not pumping their legs out there on the ice and giving it their all.

I think that chance went out the door the second MTL failed to score on the that piss poor decision to not clear that puck, and man MTL had time and possession in our zone. Beau got lucky.

What a play by Gryz on the Letang goal. Great work in front on the EN, too.
Really warming up to Hayes. And I was admittedly super down on that idea.
Just to echo what everyone else has already said - Pulju shouldn't have been a HS to begin with.

At this rate, they can't beat the playoff teams, but can dismantle the non playoff teams, lol.
Sorry

Yeah he was quite a presence. If Sullivan wasn't happy with that effort tonight from #18 he is off his rocker.

I hate TK on the intermission and post-game. He's new, I get it, but man he needs some polishing. Same with Army. He hasn't gotten better.
Someone they should look to - Bob Errey. He spoke well and was very knowledgeable about the game. I never agreed with letting him go especially given who the replacements are.
