Penguins/NHL
Jets 7 – 
Penguins 1
Starting your No. 1 goaltender in back-to-back games this early in the season isn’t always ideal and it sure back fired on Mike Sullivan and his staff.
Matt Murray was pulled 18:07 into the game, allowing 4 goals on nine shots as the Penguins disastrous play in the second night of a back-to-back continued in a 7-1 loss to the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday night.
Things continued to spiral seconds after Murray was yanked.
Down 4-0 with a 1:53 left in the first period, Casey DeSmith entered the game for his NHL debut and eight seconds later Blake Wheeler scored his third of the night at 18:15 of the period to put the Jets up 5-0 as DeSmith allowed a goal on his first shot against.
Via @Hockeynight, Wheeler became the fastest player in Jets history to record a hat trick.

10 shots in the first period for Winnipeg, 5 Goals.
The Jets would score 7 times on 24 shots by the end of sixty minutes.
DeSmith stopped 12 of 15 shots.
For Pittsburgh Murray looked off his game early on but the Penguins puck management game in front of him was about as bad as it was vs the Blackhawks on October 5th when the Penguins were waxed 10-1.
Pittsburgh’s poor puck management started with their star players from Kris Letang who had a dreadful game to Evgeni Malkin who turned the puck over at his own blueline that led to Murray getting yanked.
Tonight was Pittsburgh’s third defeat in 13 games of allowing at least 7 goals, all coming on the second night of a back-to-back.
A continued trend, the Penguins were held to one goal for the third straight game.
Pittsburgh’s lone goal was an Evgeni Malkin power play goal late in the second period as Pittsburgh’s 5 v 5 production continues to be non-existent.
Pittsburgh has 17 goals during 5 vs 5 play in 13 games, a clip of 1.31 per game.

Two full games from the previous article, ffs at least pretend to give a shit instead of just collecting revenue
Nice play by Letang. It’s always a good idea to slash someone in the face in a tied game with 5 minutes left.
He’s awful.
At least he made up for it. More than I can say most nights.
Bullshitt call on Reaves penalty.
At this point in the season… he’s not a liability but he hardly improves the team overall. He’s a better option than Setito but that bar is set low. I’d take him in games vs CLB and others that wanna use intimidation vs the Pens but he doesn’t making make the team better by any means. I’m not shitting on him
As much as it’s an honest assessment. We have better options in the depth position than him.
Habs look good tonight.
Sam sucks
and blows but it’s nothing compared to the tricks his moms is famous for
Worse than the Canadiens?
So I guess everyone has been mispronouncing Sheary’s name this entire time.
Just read that myself… We have been saying Shear-E vs Share-E… or I also heard it’s pronounced “Snipe-City”
DePaoli, if you’re not going to post another article then let Stanch back on the site so we have some entertainment.
Maybe stain was D
#murrayneeds4
Murray sucks….Simply Dusty.
Kessel with the game winner assist
For Stan.
Zero, are you at the game? Does Malkin look as Shiitty live?
He looked ok on the GWG.
He was fucken dog shit all night… then he showed up when it mattered. So fucken bad for 50 minutes
Glad you noticed that. That’s how he is on most nights but with box score stats people forget his shitt games.
No, that isn’t how he is most nights. He was lethargic and handled the puck like it was a grenade for much of last night. When I said he is a guy that is so productive you gotta take the good with the bad, last night was the bad yet he still came up with the winner. For 50 minutes he was hurting the team as much as anything, then he iced it so shut the fuckk up already. Crosby was a virtual non-factor outside the one play as well. He lost how many draws? The team won, they had… Read more »
From Katie over at DK – Line shake up. Sheary will play with Sid and Hornqvist while Kuhnhackl skates beside Geno and Rust. a scoring depth line of Sheahan, Guentzel and Kessel was formed as well. Hags moves to LF… hopefully this reignites the O and some more responsible play overall.
I know its not Sid’s preference but I like Horny in the top 6. I also prefer Phil on the 3rd line assuming we have a capable center. Never been a fan of the Malkin-Phil combo. Too much screaming at the TV.
Fully agree on all counts. Especially with the lack of punch that it looked like the team would be getting from that top line early. Kessel and Malkin playing catch with each other works as often as it don’t but both seem to be more engaged when they are on their own lines 5v5. It automatically makes both Geno and Kessel dedicated trigger men on their respective lines and both are far better with a shoot first mentality
Stain must be depressed and now he has to go outside of his basement and not be hooked on this site spamming
this how he feels

“better vibe” – morons gotta moron
Hed be happy to know youre obsessing over him tho.
Anyone notice that since Stanch left that DePaoli hasn’t posted a story.
I see Less Thumbs down as well better vibe
Theres 1 for you.
I wonder if Stanch dressed as a ball hockey player again this Halloween.
Man do the rangers suck.
Thanks for fuckin up my mobile, Zero.
Shit needed to be sorted out 😉 we good now lol
Vegas 2 goalies tonight dress up have 25min and 10 seconds of NHL experience while king hank has 44k minutes experience I wonder if Vegas wins tonight it would be the end of Vignault and the beginning for lindy ruff
Remember when you said it was all MAF? They won with their 3rd string goalie… a lot
Stanchion will be back. DePaoli needs the $14.95.
It’s end of the month his welfare check kicks in in few days
“few days” – I love it when you fuckk up your insults lool
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4j_cOsgRY7w
Must be your favorite song
Absolutely love the track actually!
Where’s the coach at?
Fuckk we lost ShitStain he could’ve gave us updates about the habs last night game
It’s okay, we still have you to give 48 hour old news!
Jarry Time!!
Carter Hutton goalie for back up from St. Louis
Are they in a hurry to move him?
Free Sam!!!
https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/1410321-the-penguins-need-to-find-a-backup-goalie-and-fast
shocking revelation… if the team doesnt tighten up then it doesnt matter who is in goal! While they definitely have a massive hole as the back up right now there biggest issue is stopping the other team from scoring as a unit. Insulate the tenders more and the problem looks smaller overall. They havent scored more than a single goal in what? at least 3 games… its not like their offence is leading to the bad D. They are simply not playing well and the biggest culprits are making the most money
Me it’s the 3 blowout losses. The way they lost 10-1 7-1 7-1. Total of 24-3 just those 3 games The way they are losing doesn’t make sense when was the last time they had big losses in matter of 13 games so far
There seems to be a lot of anger on this board. Group hugs are usually reserved for playoff time but Im sensing an October hug is in order.
We just lost our best poster on this site
Lmao how does Stan get booted but Fuckface Cloutier remains?
Kinda cements the thought that D and Sam are the same person. That’s pretty sad.
I’m wondering if he just didn’t re-up his subscription? If he actually got removed, I’m done posting. Sam ruins this board and he has multiple accounts. Anytime a decent convo is going on, he just keeps posting moronic comments until it becomes too absurd to continue.
Why doesn’t everyone just ignore him then his dumb comments are blocked? That way we can have hockey conversations without the racist frog chiming in. I am ignoring him going forward. I am also wearing a black armband until Stanchion is reinstated.
You dont need a black arm band, everyone can tell from your bonerr that you miss him.
Yep, I do. He was so nice to me when I joined last week. Asshat. Group hug this!
Dude, I had to type the extra “r” because DePaoli censured “boner”, yet NIpples gets to write fuckface!
Fuckface has been getting around the censor for awhile now… I was happy to uncover it while yoda was still hating all things Penguin
Bonerr. You spell like your retarded friend Sam.
There was a period in the offseason where the matter of fact idiocy seemed to disappear. People were having conversations without the hard this guy sucks or that guy sucks unless they truly were garbage. It’s hard for a few to look at the bigger picture and ultimately those are the ones that continually get a rise out of the board. Stan was a great poster, there are still a few willing to talk the game and not in the simplistic black and white terms we get from people like the sams
Just hit ignore. He will only have Maloni to talk his racist agenda with. I’ve begun ignoring him today.
How did you get away with typing fuckface !
I know there are a handful adept at the blame game so here are the +/- and CF% of some the more polarizing names (well, Sid is only on the list as a contrast… universally looked at in a positive light just talked about because sam is a fucken moron). Letang -14 w/ a 48.4% CF Crosby –8 w/ a 50.0% CF Sheary –7 w/ a 46.6% CF Malkin -6 w/ a 48.4% CF Cole -5 w/ a 51.3% CF Reaves –4 w/ the lowest TOI on the team w/ a 50.0% CF Maatta –3 w/ 49.4% CF Trotman –3… Read more »
Gotta love the advanced stats crowd. They have no idea what they are watching. Plus/minus might be the worst individual indicator out there.
By the way, what pouliot’s corsi?
See this is the shit I am talking about… I show two metrics that are looked at as a part of the picture in relation to how players are controlling play and/or results with them on the ice which coincides with the fact that this team has given up more goals than any team in hockey and this fucken retard is arguing against it, largely because he doesnt understand them. But go ahead and tell me how your eye test allowed you to conclude “dude can play” or that the team needed to blow it up for 5 years… It… Read more »
Settle down angry little man. Part of the reason I don’t take you seriously, other than your little tattling fiasco, is you continue to misrepresent my comments.
Wow, the irony of you calling other out for misrepresentation is rich! It’s a big reason you are closely associated with the two worst posters on this page, you do it all the time (see Pouliot). That and of course your utter hypocrisy on that yoda scenario which you love to remind yourself about on the regular… I can only hope it is in effort to stop yourself from being said hypocrite on a go forward basis. As for “angry” I have owned it… stupidity of others to this degree is tough to tolerate 🙂 “Plus/minus might be the worst… Read more »
Zero, good post. You made a cogent argument about the collective plus/minus. You have made me see hockey in a different light. Thank you. That said, I could have done without the last 600 words.
It is amazing the people that get the boot on this page from the admins while the ones that have basically spent their entire time her antagonizing the board continue to stick. Keep it up and it will be a dialogue between you and the dumbest fucken french Canadian Ive ever had the misfortune to speak with…
Who got booted?
Looks like Stan did
Yeah D realized he had no business to be here just makes people Mad and stir shitt.but Don’t worry he will be back soon with a new account thanks to some taxpayers money . At least the thumbs down will stop a bit
“At least the thumbs down will stop a bit” – Yet they continue….
Pens scored 36 goals and let in 50 leading the league
Coyotes 26 goals scored and 48 goals allowed. 10 goals pens scored more then Coyotes yet pens are in better position in standings
Sam is looking forward to his Habs playing the pens. They might actually be able to score for once (the Habs. Not sam. No chance sam scores. Ever)
But D = Same so he scores a bunch.
Yeah. Something doesn’t add up there.
You guys think npl watched this game or no? After all a lot of goals were score he must’ve been entertained . Unless he was outside playing with his new friend phillippe
You punctuate you’re posts better than your articles, D.
SAm bringing so much to the board.
The Russian was one of the worst players tonight.
Oh wait box score says he scored a goal tonight so his fine
It’s so sad that D had to use his alter ego “Same” to get some sort of conversation going on this shitt y site. What a crook.
I can’t believe D is a virgin
I’m surprised he had time to post this with his 52nd kid being born tonight.
It’s cute that people think that these games matter. Unless you’re Montreal and can’t win one.
Hey assholee. It’s the way the team is losing that matters specially they are the Stanley Cup winners it’s embarrassing.
It’s October. They’re winning games and will make the playoffs. That’s all that matters. this team will have a different look in April. Unlike the Habs who will be golfing by then.
With this roster pens will be out first round unless they make some changes
WHO CARES?? they just won two Cups, moron. I don’t care if they miss the playoffs.
You just said they will make playoffs then you don’t care if they make it or not and having Crosby malkin in their prime it’s unacceptable to miss the playoffs this shows you are a clown .just like fat boy shitt stain
You’re too dumb to respond to. I feel like I’m doing Zeros job tonight.
Good thing there are 5 months to sort it out and the Pens are still currently in 2nd in the division despite the shit start… it could be worse… they could be the fucken HABS lol
Value add again. Sam brings so much to the board (not prowess when it comes to a vaginaa tho. He has no clue there)
If anyone knows anything about being an embarrassment, you’d be the guy.
“Embarrassing” ya I am willing to bet there are fans of 30 other teams that would welcome this kind of embarrassment! Moron
Are pens still favorite to win the cup when every time they lose its a blowout match
You’re literally the dumbest person on the internet.
Which explains why he’s never touched a vaginaa
#blowoutmatch
Tv’s still on anyone?
All three of mine are now.
Also same said last year first round pick goalies does not grow on tree so often. When you guys bitchedd about fleury. And I said let’s see if Murray can play 80 games a year. Year after year answer is NO.
The habs suck.
name the last goalie to play 80
80games playoffs too
He had no choice to start the number 1 goalie back to back the gap of stability is huge between Murray and the next whoever you want to use as back up
#GapOfStability
Character loses.
