You like Michael Bunting, I like him, and he’s fun. He skates around chewing his mouth guard, gets into chirp-fests with the rat one bench over (particularly when that’s Travis Konecny), and he drives the net like it’s his job. That’s because it is.
But is Micheal Bunting a skilled shooter? How can we tell, and more to the point: So what if he isn’t? He’s in the crease to collect garbage goals like Zach Hyman used to do. Bunting does his job very well, and no one wants him to go anywhere, but he’s one of the group of Maple Leafs who seem to not be scoring much so far.
