I gotta say, Bonino must not realize he's in a contract year 'cause he's invisible most nights. We never see any of those slick little plays like he did in the playoffs. If I'm Ruth, I'd give serious consideration to letting him walk. Sure not signing him to anything over 2.5. 3 max.

He's been a big disappointment so far.

I think he is returning to his baseline. He seems like the type of player who can only succeed (at least offensively) with good wingers. That sounds obvious, but some players are able to create on their own and/or elevate their game regardless of their linemates. I've never been overly impressed by Bonino, even though he is a good defender which I love in a forward. I thought the talk of $4.5M-$5.5M with term was nutty. I agree with you, $2.5M-$3M tops. If he isn't re-signed, we're looking at two new centers if Guentzel stays at winger. Sundqvist will be one of them.

him and dumo both really stepping up their respective games in the playoffs is really the main difference so far as far as individual players go. but it shows you how thin the line is.

I can't wait for the "4 goal ___" jokes.

He won't come out. He's a moron. Only comes out when fleury let's up 4 goals. But hides when Murray does. Dude is clownshoes.

It's cause he shaved his beard.

or.....it's because he's just not that good. I'm leaning towards that.

I tried to tell everyone that... he IS replaceable. There is no point in spending significant cap space on him lol

5 goal murray showed up guess who blinked first? That is right! Murray something is seriously wrong with this team honestly and it needs to be Fixed now before it is to late (I channeld my inner holeinone cuz we all know he won't show up)

One of them was an EN so, rest assured, Murray and Fleury are on a par with each other.

I fell asleep on the couch. Let me guess if not for Murray it would have been 12 to 3. I think we need to see Murray get his net filled and see how he responds.

So yeah... the typical don't show up after a 3 day+ break Penguins last night... can't just rely on one period each game.

I'm starting to think Boner will do what he did last year, remember early when everyone wanted him gone then he found form late. I don't think he's ever had a strong consistent season where he is consistently scoring - I've done zero research on that so let's call it a HB fact??

I'd give him a wait & see.

This bullpoop losing to teams that are struggling is just so frustrating. They get it together for brief moments & look unbeatable but then it's either too late or they just give it back. I wouldn't mind so much if they were getting beat by good teams, & the amount of GA is just unbelievable??

Well, these (frank)ers are just lucky they won Stanley last season or I might get angry!!!

Thanks guys... Cant believe you couldnt beat a last place team and help put Crappy out of his misery Now he has a 2 month leash bc of 2 wins in a row, #Tank4NolanPatrick

Well if ur team won it would have helped bc blowing a 3 goal lead & losing could have put the nail further in the coffin plus have Cappy evacuated from Snow's basement apartment....

Entertaining game yesterday

Bonino can't handle the pressure of being in a contract year. GMJR should give him a nice 6 year deal worth $5M per to relieve the pressure and he will start producing.
