The PP stuff is bizarre. The Powerplay is awful. We can put him in there and hope it helps him out, but instead we are playing Carter like 20+ mins a night.
HURHURHUR you said "PP stuff."
I dunno, man. You aren't wrong. As far as Carter goes it's like the team actually bought in to the asinine meme legend stuff from last season. When in reality he's older than the guys this fanbase routinely wants to trade away for magic beans and was never as talented. None of that is to say I don't appreciate him. I do. Just would be nice to take some steps to keep him fresh or ease his workload instead of piling the minutes on and sticking him with an absolutely abysmal, chemistry-devoid duo for linemates. Oh well. That will be Malkin's problem soon enough.
I would say there is nothing wrong with bumping Carter down for a couple of weeks and letting a younger guy like like Blueger take more minutes but that would require making changes to the lineup and that would make the universe grind to a halt or something.
