Penguins/NHL
Series Buzz
Mike Sullivan is showing he doesn’t care about the story.
Instead of letting Marc Andre Fleury have an opportunity to bounce back tonight in Game 4 and continue with what was potentially setting up as a storybook ending, Sullivan will turn to his No. 1 netminder Matt Murray tonight for Game 4.
The buzz immediately after Game 3 was that Sullivan was leaning towards Murray but Penguin coaches looked to have messed with the media a bit on Thursday, in having Matt Murray share a net with Tristan Jarry.
Murray, though, was informed To read this insider news, subscribe to get “Inside Access”!
A good source is saying Letang will be back for the Cup finals
Kathryn Tappan’s rack is a beautiful site!
Ruhwedele with a concussion. Cue Mark Streit for Sunday. Ridiculous no call. Player in a vulnerable position and a player targets his head. If one of these talking dicks say one more time he kept his elbow down, I’m going to scream! That’s a suspendable hit. Player safety department will never get it. Remove the gray area, any hit to the head is illegal.
We somehow came out out the play shorthanded lol
I know! I mean they missed a high stick as well.
Yup, this one I didn’t like, the Phaneuf on Rust one was an unfortunate end to a tough play but this one I’m not a fan of at all
Any hit to the head should be reviewed. These guys know how to skirt the rule. I’m sorry Phaneuf didn’t target the head but he still hit him in the head. Most Scott Stevens hits are were head shots.
Dont see any reason to take Archibold out. Dont see any reason to keep Sheary in.
I agree. That’s a good lineup. Only Streit will be coming in for the weedle.
The team stood up big time tonight!
Yay Murray and the mini hit men on each line. Made a DIFFERENCE..
It’s so hard to believe Ron Hainsey played 900 NHL game without participating in the playoffs. Dude is solid.
Good to see Karlsson getting off his game tonight. They need to keep hitting him and getting in his head. He told Turris tonight to wake the fcuk up!
I’m going to miss Kunitz when he’s gone. The guy is a tough SOB!
Thx. Been saying that for years. Doesn’t score enough goals for the 13 yr old girls on this site.
He opens up a lot of space for sid. Glad sully took of TK from his line. Oops I meant sheary
You’ve been shitting on him all year you lying fuckk. People don’t have an issue with Kunitz himself as much as they have noted a 4 million cap hit with regressed skill due to age. He’s perfect in a depth role theses days
Love to hear how much of a fan Cherry is of Sid now lol
Is he washing Sid’s balls?
And that’s all that matters!
We need the Russian
You need to leave your TV on Samantha.
Yikes….
Sammich… how much did you hate that Maatta goal?
Ok course he did. He’s watching Hockey Wives.
Someone told sam Murray is having an easy night. Because he clearly turned his tv off
The infamous Sam “scum Sully” post. Same you still watching?
Once again that Murray getting an easy night. Fuckk you scum sully you knew after bad game pens would rebound strong and used last pens lost an opportunity to put Murray in this game.
Easy? Clearly the team responded to a bad loss, ya it unfortunate for MAF he wasn’t given the chance to redeem himself but who gives a fuck in the long run… winnings winning and that’s all that matters
Well have fun tonight with Yoda then
Lol, see this is the big difference between me and you… I can give credit where it’s due. Murray played well and earned it. Yes the team played well and yes it’s likely MAF wins this one too but he wasn’t in net, Murray was and he got the job done. Stop being such a fucken bitchh!
The Saint Has been the backup since last year. Get over it.
Remember when sam tried to tell everyone how bad Bobby Ryan was?
Paid off… so be it… this is awesome!
Good job Cole another dumb penalty
One of the best blue liners on the team and your mom likes him because his cock is black man thick… it reminds her of the man she wishes was your father
They called THAT.
Did you know you can elbow a guy in the head as long as you don’t extend your elbow?
What a joke that was.
What I find amazing is they didn’t even mention the hit in the first NBC between period segment. You don’t think the NHL is calling the shots.
They just did. Jones said clean hit. #hockeyplay
Yeah seen that only goes to show Jones is a tard.
I usually like him. I’m sorry that was an elbow.
Did you guys know that the Phaneuf/Malkin feud goes back a long time?
Yeah Pierre mentions everyday this series goes on. He will also tell you what obscure Canadian town he’s from. Creepy!
Yeah he doesn’t mention often just in case people like npl start watching a full game
Wat????
This officiating is a joke. They miss a high stick and an elbow. The standard has been set for tonight. Headshots are fair game. This league gets more barbaric by the game.
Being up 1-0 after the 1st on the road is big.
Thanks Steigy
Thats a no brainier
Big goal from Sam’s boy
Thats why Maatta is a future hall of famer, according to sam
Always Americans and Russians ruin the game good job Ryan and good job malkin last game.
Last game? Turn your TV on, new game has started.
Impeaching Trump is a no brainier
What’s the charge
Global embarrassment
Dude just being American is a global embarrassment. You guys are a laughing stock to the world. Well known as lazy fat and stupid.
And arrogant
This is pretty good. Your country is basically Pluto. And you’re in the retard section of Pluto because you’re French. Impressive.
Guy has a picture of “the man” and one of the worst leaders period in recent memory while talking the same up… then has the nerve to shit on the country as a whole… re-fucken-tard!
You voted for Hillary dude. Global embarrassment doesn’t bother you. You’re good.
“Youre dumb for voting for Hillary over the soon-to-be impeached Trump” is not a strong argument in my opinion.
Sure it is. Voting for a proven criminal over a potential one is a real good argument. Never mind throwing a serial rapist back in the White House as First Lady.
Ahhh emails!! You cant share confidential info via email!! You have to share it inside the Oval Office with the country who tampered with your election after your ally asked you not to.
But kudos to you for having high standards and not wanting a rapist in the White House. Cant have Clinton using his status to walk up and grab chicks by the pus while theyre naked inside pageant changing rooms.
I mean he literally raped multiple women. It’s weird that you’d make light of that.
Whos making light of that? I said we cant have that.
Russians were afraid of HRC, especially Putin.
They are not afraid of Trump nad his tea.
That alone got her my vote.
Sully doesn’t care about being popular! He’s a badass! GreenArrow what’s up?
Hello! I am hear looking for my buddy Simply
Glad to hear from ya. Who you like tonight?
Yoda is no brainier than Sam.
Then he comes on this cite to rant. Part of me wonders if he hates fleury because his jersey number is a constant reminder of his IQ.
Yoda….no one except sam is against a goalie change,….YOU were wrong saying he would start game 1…..no one said he’d never play….fleury didnt “melt down” would take multiple games to say he melted down…..Murray is the number 1..no one has disputed that..you pretend people have but no no..they have not….your backup has a bad game (not entirely his fault) and you move back to your number 1 goalie….its obvious you somehow want to take credit for it?…your such a blowhard whose wrong about everything except the obvious, then want to take credit for preaching at the obvious
Not to mention he was wrong about roughly a dozen of so things on the subject before it actually happened. I would like to use the term selective reasoning but that would infer he uses reason…
The sad part is that he even misses the obvious 95% of the time.
You know what this cities problem is? They can’t accept the fact that the Saint is just a backup. Rejoice, he was awesome in his role this year. They won 2 rounds with their effing backup. That is awesome. Point is though Murray is ready and he the number one and there was never a debate with the coaching staff. The choice to start Murray was a no brainier. I was right, sully is right and you all have no brains since this situation is a no brainier…..and I loooooooove it!
No brainier than what?
If the relationship between Fleury and the other players is as reported then I can’t think of a better motivational tactic. Your good buddy just took the fall for their horseshitt effort. Should be fun to see which Sidney Crosby shows up tonight.
Or which malkin the one that is a superstar that is worth 9.5m or the one that is a goon that steals paychecks with 12 min of pim
Why are you saying that like it was 6 minors?
LOL. Malkin hasn’t played “great” in probably 5ish games, and he STILL leads the entire league in playoff points. “Stealing paychecks.”
(he’s also something like a +8 compared to Sid’s -2)
Can’t blame Sid. If it was the regular season he wouldn’t be playing. Dude got his head smashed and probably is in severe pain. His objective is to be a body and try to put up a point on the pp at this point.
Who cares about the relationships. The players know murray is better. They want to win the cup. They know murray is the better choice. There isn’t one player complaining about the move.
(Murray hasn’t played better since before February – but let’s not let the facts get in the way)
Baby Groot could have won in net for the Pens last year.
Of course you can’t blame him – he’s not a goalie – and that’s pretty much the extent of what you understand.
I dont think he understands anything
I understood who was getting the start tonight and I was called a moron. Lol
How bout game one? two? three? It took until a complete melt down by the team in the 3rd game before your so called prophecy “came true”. You are a moron, of the highest caliber
You thought you understood it in game 1, too. ANd that’s why you owe me five grand.
That had nothing to do with why you were called a moron.
Did DK suffer a stroke or heart attack yet?
Can’t wait for his next take.
Wow. I guess Sullivan doesnt trust French Canadians.
I think you mean “scum sully”
Who does
Fuckk you scum sully for replacing fleury right away. When team in front was garbage. Now Murray wins Yoda will cum in pants and if Murray lose tonight he will blame on injuries. Only positive I see from scum sully this goalie change might play slight psychological game in sens head. But kinda suckks fleury with 2 shutouts in last 3 wins and gets replaced thanks to the garbage in front of him
Explain this “slight psychological game” being played.
Sullivan’s balls are huge.
Fingers crossed he makes it through the warm up this time!
Ha! That would be something.
I say it in jest of course but fuck me if it actually happened!
Who’s your prophet? And I looooove it!
You literally called an MAF melt down from game 2 of the 1st round on… I guess we can give you this one after being wrong for 13 straight!
It had better payoff and solve all the teams problems though!
The teams problem is. injuries. Nothing more.
So then Murray won’t change anything? gotcha
My point is that due to said injuries and deficiencies that have caused the team to fall behind 2 – 1 making this move is likely not going to improve their situation and there is a high potential for it to look bad. Murray shut the door for the most part coming in as relief… credit to him but I am curious as to how the colder netminder will look when he has the Sens actually coming at him.
If you will recall I was against this same move last year when Sullivan did it with MAF
Exactly. Unless he gets a hat trick.
The Saint did well up until last game, but the number one guy got some playing time in and now he is just taking over. It has nothing to do with the Saint.
My prophet owes me $5k because he was wrong about Murray starting game 1. Let me know if you need to know where to send the cashier’s check (no personal check – i know your’s will bounce at the amount)
Simply Dusty the simplest mind in the thread was clamoring for the Flower, so obviously Coach S made the right call
