And because it makes no logical sense, they'll go 3-0-1Just consider this…where’s our win? Lol
- Winnipeg is 4-0-0 and has outscored its opponents 18-5.
- Calgary, too, is 4-0-0, and has nearly doubled up in outscoring its opponents, 19-10. The Penguins have not won in Calgary since Dec. 17, 2019.
- Edmonton could be just as desperate as the Penguins, if not more so, after a 2-3-0 start, and there’s always the dynamic of Crosby and Malkin against Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. McDavid just notched his first goal, in the Oilers’ fifth game, Thursday. The Penguins last won at Edmonton on Dec. 20, 2019 and have not beaten the Oilers since a game at home Feb. 13, 2019.
- Vancouver is 1-1-2 and also looking for its footing. The Penguins will be playing for the second consecutive night, with travel from Edmonton, while the Canucks will have been off since Tuesday.
Bunting sucks

Applying any sort of logic to the Penguins under this coach's leadership is lunacy.Applying logic to the Pens is a dangerous game.
They actually record this stat? Do you have a link? It'd be an interesting one to keep tabs on if we ever see anyone called up and can track more players.Update on top speeds. Glass is surprising.
Crosby 93
Malkin >50
Letang >50
EK 58
Rust 65
Beauvillier 78
Rakell 52

First, Puljujarvi is better on his off wing than Puustinen is, no shocker that Sullivan is a moron that doesn't see that. But Beauvillier, what the actual f***.
So Sullivan in practice has Bunting basically primed to be a healthy scratch but Beauvillier is still with Sid and Rust.
That trio is one of the worst first lines in the NHL.
Sullivan needs to f*** off yesterday. This is just ridiculous.

I am neither here nor there about Bunting. I think if a player struggles you try him in different usage and if it continues, you healthy scratch the player.It's just so f***ing weird how Sullivan seems to be completely immune to criticism. They're not even pressuring him to change shit, let alone putting his job at risk.
Also Bunting's been hot traaaaaash dude. They could dump that guy tomorrow and bring up Poulin or something and I don't think the team would be any worse--and I say this as someone who thinks Poulin's a nothingmancer.
He's been ass but I also don't get how you don't try him with Eller (with Puustinen) or Sid first before you decide to healthy scratch him and somehow Beauvillier is exempt from also being ass.lol so glad we got a roster player back for jake
100%. Bunting is our 2nd most capable winger...bordering on 1st.He's been ass but I also don't get how you don't try him with Eller (with Puustinen) or Sid first before you decide to healthy scratch him and somehow Beauvillier is exempt from also being ass.
Bunting played Sid in that two headed monster shift. Once. Then with Eller and JP and was awful, but he was better with Glass and Acciari.
So with Sid on a normal line - no.
Ellers line - yes, it was bad.
Glass' line - yes, he was a lot better.
Geno's line - he hasn't hurt it defensively but offensively he helps control the shots just zero production.
I mean you maybe try him with Sid And Rust first before the scratch, Beauvillier though, this spastic dipshit can be ass all he wants and gets no criticism from the coach.
Of the left wings, he most definitely can be if Sullivan finds the right usage with him and he hasn't. Beauvillier for some reason keeps getting top line usage and hasn't scored in 4 games and is useless defensively. Yet he somehow escapes all criticism from Sullivan or demotion.100%. Bunting is our 2nd most capable winger...bordering on 1st.
At least try him with Sid to see if it can work lol
I mean yeah, Bunting has had 58 even-strength points before.Of the left wings, he most definitely can be if Sullivan finds the right usage with him and he hasn't. Beauvillier for some reason keeps getting top line usage and hasn't scored in 4 games and is useless defensively. Yet he somehow escapes all criticism from Sullivan or demotion.
NHL Edge. They have a ton of stuff there. Not just top speed but burst over 25, shot speed, shot charts.
