Official GDT: Pens vs Wild 10/29/24

Post by DelPen »



These lines are garbage. The absolute worst thing that will happen is Wild up 6-0 and someone like Bunting ruins the shutout in the final seconds for Fleury making the entire game a waste of time.

Bunting can’t even get into the top six with Rust out. I mean look at that lineup. Total mess.

Maybe this is Sullivan’s quiet protest to Dubas. Saying I have no forward depth, this is the garbage I can put together.

Man,these Forward Lines are not going to be good.Dumb Question but why not go back to Puljujarvi with DOC and Eller?
Then again why would I expect Sullivan to go with that.

This is almost the same players available though for the first few games where in two of them they were scoring fine except instead of McGroarty it’s Puustinen.

Beauvilier-Crosby-Rakell
Bunting-Malkin-DOC
Puustinen-Eller-Puljujarvi
Hayes-Glass-Acciari

But that makes too much sense.

Sully clearly doesn’t like Puljujarvi. The fact he has Acciari playing 2nd line is laughable.

Sully loves himself his plugs. Maybe Craig Adams is available ??

I could even see going with Puustinen ahead of Acciari but agree with You.Sully's Actions back You up on his dealing with Puljujarvi.

You are all looking at the lines wrong, Acciari isn’t on the 2nd line over Puljujarvi on the 4th. It’s actually Acciari on 4a and Puljujarvi on 4c, a barely functional top line that might work and then 3 lines of trash the way they are set up.

It’s insane that Karlsson isn’t the best #65 in Pens history, has to be Hainsey.

Or an early version of Ben Lovejoy.

I'm hoping for a 3-0 final with Flower finally getting his goal.

It was fun while it lasted Bunting. I fully expect Sully to have KD trade him by the deadline.

His play has been terrible all year.
So will we see Ponomarev,Kouivenen or Cruz Lucius get any opportunity for what they gave up in Guentzel ?
