Yleisesti ottaen näin, paitsi Sullivanin kohdalla. Penkitykset Puljun historiassa on tulleet ihan aiheesta ja niihin on olleet syyt taustalla, nyt niitä samoja syitä ei yksinkertaisesti enää ole (paitsi jos lonkissa on jotain tuntemusta ja Jesse on itse pyytänyt peliajan vähennystä). Sullivanin kohteluun on aiemmin päässyt mm. Kasperi Kapanen sekä lukemattomat muut lahjakkaat pelaajat.
Myöskään Pensin fanit ei ymmärrä Puljun kohtelua:
I don't think he did enough wrong to get taken out of the line-up, there's a lot more that deserved to be healthy scratched over Puljujarvi. If anything, Kevin Hayes has played like he wants to sit in the press box and Sullivan keeps punishing Jesse Puljujarvi instead. It's mind boggling, the lad keeps busting his ass with the absolute shit minutes he gets and usage and he still gets shit on by Sullivan. The wild game - Beau, Hayes, and Acciari were all hot garbage and yet Puljujarvi was the one he made an example out of again.
JP's problem vs the Wild was he was with Hayes and to make it even funnier, Acciari was an absolute disaster in that game but he will never get taken out for it. But when you give a player less than 5mins at ES, how the f*** do you expect them to bounce back or earn it back? You can't.
Noel had a CF/CA of 5/15 and 25%, at even strength lol, only Beauvillier was worse. Both are also exempt from any sort of punishment from Sullivan, they aren't Euro enough.
Once again, Hayes was crap, this time so was Lizotte (maybe a lot of rust) so either he healthy scratches Hayes or more than likely Lizotte who should get games to get some of the rust off and take Hayes out for JP.
