If you havent seen it yet, check out Biz chirps Marchant after their game and his Marcahnts reply is hillarious.

Game like when Bisonnette played? I couldn't find one but I did find the one from a few days ago where Marchand says "beat the wheels off you" to him regarding the fight which I thought was hilarious.

Looking for some Buster information and stumbled on this:

The Sporting Tribune

www.thesportingtribune.com

Looks like another volunteer writing position so it isn't from TSN or Hradek or anything but clearly a month ago the (lack of) production was already a concern.

At the time of this article, 13GP/0G/5A/.385 PPG. Fast forward to now G26 - essentially double the GP - he's at 12GP/3G/3A/.50 PPG. Clearly better but not good enough considering where, who, what situations and how much he plays. A grand total of 25GP/3G/8A/.44 PPG is not acceptable especially for $6.25 million. That comes out to 36pts on the year which is one hell of an ugly look for a guy who was expected to exceed last season and take a huge step forward.

I rag on the guy constantly, and what the writer says is true (great hands, speed, skill, size) but he's also correct about his lack of aggression and playing soft perimeter. Dude needs to develop a mean streak and bully his way around and to the net. The dangles and flash are great but will not get the job done.

It would he an extremely unpopular opinion and piss off a bunch of Kingsters but a scratch or two is way overdue. The Kings did that with many good prospects before (Corvo, Vilardi, etc) to reset their game and it worked.

He zinged him good, Bisonnette was a good sport about it. Marchand chirps are usually gold.
