was this the one by Murphy speculating he would be sent down after practice?

I liked this game this weekend. He looked to shoot more and tried to make some plays. I would like to see him create turnovers and attack on transition more. I'm not sure if he has the quickness that I once thought. Perhaps he lost a step from last year?

He looked faster last game than any other game I can remember.

I always thought speed was something he lacked when watching him in the past, his first game up looked like much of the same, but he showed a quickness I had never seen from him before vs the Flames.

 

[57special]

Exactly. I thought he had average speed in the past, but he looked above average last game. Exciting development. Wild need all the speed they can get.

 

[absolute garbage]

NHL is very much stop-and-go hockey, and JEE doesn't have much explosiveness. Kunin on the other hand has a lot quicker feet.

 

[57special]

Didn't use to.

I certainly can't say he's been bad, because I've missed half the games and no one else is scoring, but zero points in seven games sure isn't inspiring.

Tell me who has any points /

I said no one else is scoring in my post.. in case you missed that.

At some point you'd like to see something out of your top prospects, even if the rest of the team sucks.

 

[Digitalbooya]

He needs to start scoring or be sent down.

 

[Wabit]

Can he take the rest of the team with him?

No, but they can be traded. I don’t really care at this point. I just want some action to change up this team.

The fact that no one has been scoring lately isn't a defense for any one individual player. They all need to be scoring, Kunin included. They're NHL players. It's their job, regardless of how experienced they are.

I totally agree but Kunin has been there 2 games
Where's all the 6 million dollar men

Kunin has played 7 games and hasn't been a threat to get on the score sheet even once.
Again, just because guys like Nino, Zucker, Staal, Coyle and Koivu aren't scoring doesn't mean Kunin should get a pass. It doesn't work that way. If those guys aren't scoring, guys like Kunin, Greenway, Ek, need to step up.

Who should be picking up who ?

No excuses for Kunin but 20 Kunin, EK or Greenways' = Nino, Zucker, Koivu and Staal.....Think about that for a minute

Bottom line are the veterans need to pick up their game and start earning their pay.

 

[Rask Decisions]

Time to pull the plug on Kunin and Ek before the rest of the league figures out that they're busts.

It's not all Kunin's fault but it's extremely unlikely he develops into more than a 3rd line forward.

It's not a blame game. We're not blaming Kunin for the team's failure. The veterans are blamed for that, and they should be.

That has almost nothing to do with Kunin's performance.

 

[57special]

Well, on a positive note, I've thought Kunin hasn't looked out of place. His skating has surprised me. Looks above average. He's gritty, plays smart, and both ways. He will not be a bust. It just remains to be seen if he has any offense to offer.
