Absolutely nobody was expecting him to be a point a game guy with 9 goals in 14 games.

But as someone who was willing to trade him, I don't want to right now (no need for cap space now). Let's see how he finishes though, had 8 goals in 6 games last year too and it didn't last.

EDIT- although if he sticks as a righty on the top PP....

Well put. Everyone Around here acts like if you suggest a trade or criticize a player you hate the player.

Rust was a tradeable player with a not insignificant cap hit. Made sense at the time. No need to now and I’m sure we’re all stoked he’s putting the puck in the net.

👆🏻

Maybe a 55 point pace from when he started this point streak. So excluding the injury and his initial slump. I believe he’s got 6 points in his last 6 games and only that PPG was on the PP

Doesn’t look like any changes up front and Ruhwedel will play with Petts 👍🏻👊🏻

Why do you bother? lol. RW said Galchenyuk was just awful because GMJR has to be an idiot in everything he does, and moving on from Kessel, who has been having a really bad season, was going to crush this team. He said it, so that's the version of reality that some will adopt. Six points in six games is not promising if RW has already made up your mind for you.

Trade rumors are tying us to Buffalo once we are healthy. Apparently it is rumored Buffalo is shopping defensemen for forwards. Idk who I would want to trade unless JR is trying to get gets Schultz replacement sooner instead of later. Side note would you guys want to take a flyer on claiming Valentin Zykov?

I'm happy to see Rust finally putting it together. I hope he keeps it up!

You’re pretty (frank)ing dense sometimes.

My opinion of Galchenyuk has absolutely nothing to do with Kessel or RW.

It has to do with 7 years of data.

Obviously that will not continue with that pace, but he plays with heart and an ok cap hit.
- VeryModernMan

Yeah, he's never been a problem. Seemed like a guy who'd get a good return and ease our cap situation, and I liked giving guys like Kahun, McCann, Simon and Tanev a bigger look.

But they found a better way, thank you Marino. I actually wanted to trade Rust for a young, cheap defenseman like him and they found one for nothing.

10 shots against two goals, what a surprise.

Who?

Did Kris Letang just turn his back on the trailer on a 3-2? That looked awfully weird with him not turning back around.

LOL, nobody here takes RW's opinions as gospel.

Oh boo hoo. 305/505 = ~.60. Per 82 games, that's 50 point pace, and all some here have done is act like the guy is trash. Calm your little ego down. There's no reason to start describing what we think of each other, because you'd probably get even more triggered if everyone pulled out adjectives to describe your attitude.

I didn't say that.

Regardless of whether they’re on MM it’s not good for him at all.

That's f'n brutal. This game should not be 3-2.

Weak goal. No help from Letang at all. Tanger has been coasting and watching all period

Yuck. The guy who should be in the penalty box gets the goal.

You expected more with MM in net?
