Hes been good before, was decent last year and now every Penguin is underperforming their usual numbers by a lot. So a while yet.

He's been a 40+ point player in like 6 of the past 7 seasons, one of which was the lockout season and the other was when he was injured. That's really not bad.

If you look at his game logs you will discover he was great for his first 3 weeks as a Penguin and has consistently produced at a Craig Adams level for the 4 months since, despite skating mostly with Crosby or Malkin.

I definitely would not rule out that Johnston's retarded junior league system is to blame, of course.

according to this, 2LWs generally score 26-42 points. Perron has consistently scored 40+ points/season (including last season!). This system's been depressing literally every penguins players' numbers. It's much more likely that he's fine and the system is the problem.

Close puck support means globbing up in one small area of the ice so the other team only has to defend one area.

This is what is frustrating about Babcock's Leafs. They're competent but all the veterans are trash that no one else wants.

At least it wasn't a bad period.

This season the AHL game will be the right move 100% of the time even if they lose. At least until Johnston is canned.
