Penguins/NHL
Penalty Kill Unit, Matt Murray star in giving Rangers No Life
The Boston Bruins winning the Stanley Cup in 2011 with one of the worst power plays you’ll see started this narrative that you don’t need a power play to win in the NHL Playoffs.
Okay, maybe true, but when you combine power play production with a great penalty kill, it can be demoralizing to an opponent over a seven game series.
For the Rangers their power play sunk them in Game 3 in not providing that critical next goal in the first forty minutes and tonight two failed power play opportunities in the first period when trailing 2-0 was unable to save them and provide a needed momentum swing.
The Penguins got off to a roaring start with two early goals by just making the simple play in getting the puck to the net.
Ben Lovejoy notorious for just dumping the puck in and not making the smart play, makes a rare zone entry in getting the puck on net that leads to a poor Henrik Lundqvist rebound and an Eric Fehr goal, 1:09 into the game.
The Fehr goal saw the Penguins keep pushing and then on the power play get a killer goal with Evgeni Malkin just making a simple shot on net that gets deflected by Sidney Crosby (goal credited to Patric Hornqvist) past Lundqvist at 7:11 of the period.
A 2-0 commanding Penguins lead where they’re dominating play in all facets and the Rangers look done already.
New York gets some potential life with a Patric Hornqvist penalty at 8:43 of the period. Pittsburgh kills it off easily. Trevor Daley then goes off for hooking at 13:06 of the period with the Penguins still leading 2-0 and the Rangers failed to capitalize again.
A 1:06 after the Daley penalty expired, Conor Sheary turns defense into offense by creating a turnover in the defensive zone and beating Henrik Lundqvist for a breakaway goal.
3-0 Game over and the period wasn’t even 17 minutes old.
Pittsburgh is 15-16 (93.8%) on the penalty kill, surrendering no 5-on-4 goals in the series. To add to their special teams dominance, the Penguins are 7-19 (37%) on the power play, highlighted by three power play goals tonight.
It’s quite the lethal combination as the Penguins have taken complete control of the series after being out-played 5 v 5 in the first two games.
The Penguins’ and Capitals’ look to be on a collision course in the second round and both teams are currently up 3-1 in their respective series’.
What do they have in common?
Lethal special teams right now and strength between the pipes.
The Penguins combined power play/penalty kill percentage is 130.6. Washington 8-21 on the power play and 14-15 on the penalty kill, have a combined percentage of 131.4.
The Matt Murray Dynamic
— Playoff experience is overrated for goaltenders and Matt Murray is proving that again as other young goaltenders have in the past.
Murray is so positionally sound and anticipates the play at such an elite level already, and when you combine that with the size and athleticism he has, he gets in the oppositions head that they have to make a perfect shot to beat him. That’s what he did tonight.
As good as the Penguins were in this game, Murray came up with a number of timely, spectacular saves, especially late in the first period.
It was the penalty kill and Matt Murray that gave the Rangers no life when they pressed.
All due respect to Marc Andre Fleury, as I’ve stated before, there is no drop off with Murray and he’s proving that. When you have a goaltender the caliber of Murray, how young and inexperienced he is doesn’t matter. Marc Andre Fleury has proven more playoff experience doesn’t mean more playoff success.
— Henrik Lundqvist had shown some cracks this season and other than Game 2, we’ve seen them this series. In Game 3, the opportunity was there to steal one in a close game, Matt Cullen beats him for the go-ahead breakaway goal.
Tonight he just didn’t look ready to play. Awful rebound on the Fehr goal, then gets beat again on a breakaway goal from Sheary.

mike sullivan rules. 1st coach to get kessel into hot dog rehab. this team is rolling.
Hard to give credit to the team. Their goaltender, your God, lost the series for them. Hard to win with such a weak minded goalie. 9th or 10th. Tear it down.

You probably gasp for air after your last bite of your hot dog
.753 sv pct for Queen Hank. Lest we forget, yogurts GOD
today was a great day for America.

Kessel well on his way to a Conn Smythe!
Let the record show that the ratio of tonight’s 6-3 game vs NYR was… Wait for it.. 2-1, good call yodirt!
Apparently our Russian played 15:01 min today I guess not enough power play to use him
Yoda do you think king passed Fleury as a choker come playoffs
The first part of this is a very valid question!
Better?
Hey npl and Stan did you hear the guy on NBC said about sully that he relies heavily on Jacques Martin before he takes a decision so a lot of things goes through JM. Another Canadian Making American look good
That’s just announcer made up babble sully makes every decision
I bet JM has a say to have the Russian sit last 10 mins of the game
This shows there are other players that can play important minute and not the Russian this shows the Russian is a huge expense on this team and can be expendable
He was literally just on the ice retard
Under three minutes to play and took a full shift.. Nearly scored on that shift
lol up 6-3 against a dead team. IMPORTANT SHIFTS!!
He’s on the ice as I type asshole
Yeah just now where was he most of the 3rd taking a shitt in the back again
He was literally on the ice for a couple of shifts in the last 5 or so minutes… You’re such an idiot
Well that’s pretty much a dagger in any possible cup run… Martin never won a fucking thing
Martin always coached shitt teams and been assistant coach to better teams to win the cup
They should call Bob Hartley and Therrien for advice too. They’re sure not fucking doing anything.
I’ve always been a fan of Kunitz. He might not have the legs and hands anymore but he does all the little things well. Tough to play against.
He’s better served with Malkin, less reliance on him to make the plays with Geno that he has to make with Crosby
Is malkin playing this 3rd period?
Hope not. No reason to. You protect your best player.
More like no need to kill the teams momentum with dumb penalties
Why is Letang playing then?
I wouldn’t but I do see him out there
Series 2 – Murray or fleury. Hmmm
No mention of Zatty? He seems like a game 1 ace.
Sure. If both fleury and Murray are hurt.
Btw, who is zatty?
Chased Hank again. Yogurts God.
The hook 3 out of 5 games.
F him. he’s not my god. i’m just happy his boyfriend is running around on him putting him in this fragile mental state.
You’ve blown him. Your God.
“His boyfriend”? So that would be you and??? Everyknows you gotta beat Lundqvist 2-1
In all seriousness, we might be going to game 6 if it wasn’t for Kessel stepping up in the 1st period when the team was napping. Great addition Pappy!
Hope that fat pig npl didn’t choke on a hot dog after celebrating all these goals. We need him alive so he can witness Panthers collapse
Hot dog joke. Called it.
Hahahahahaha
Where is Yoda! I want him to explain to me how great the King is and how we’ll NEVER score 4 a game against him.
Have to beat this team 2-1. This and that. 9th or 10th. Tear it down.
I love Rust just because Dejan badmouths him
Are serious Rust and coonhaclk been amazing since day 1
What’s a coonhaclk. Sounds racist.
I missed that too. What did he have to say about him?
That he’s a selfish offensive player. Does not pass the puck
Oh ya I’ve seen him mention Rust being a shoot first guy that won’t mesh well with Malkin cuz of it. I didn’t see him say it quite like that. Silly of him if he did
God forbid pens have a shoot-first, go-to-the- net forward.
In case Stan you were worried about sid he showed up on a important game
Americans carrying him all day.
Canadians are better. Russian doesn’t score. Passes more important than goals. Then hit up the noise at the arena when that’s all not working out. Finally get to a hot dog cart “joke”. Who am I…..
Is this the first time pens beat vignault?
What a beautiful pass by malkin
Rust, co-Mvp
What an awesome win. Payback’s a bich!!!!!
Isn’t there a “t” in bitch
The filter stinks
Sam looks so dumb. All America. All day.
Its the first ever time consol been this loud. Ever since they built this arena it has been a museum and nothing like the igloo
That’s America…again
Sheary. Rookie mvp
Thanks to Crosby
Where is the Russian did he go back to take a shitt again
He just made one of those amazing passes you seem to put so much stock in. You look dumb literally no matter what you say.
Another nice pass by a Canadian wish Americans can do the same but can’t
Hahaha. A pass! That’s great.
Another American goal. Sun rises. Sun sets.
Offensive zone penalty again for the pens again by one of the lines Sam thinks is playing good again.
Great save by Fleury
Hot goalie is back!
#SomethingSpecial
Eric Staal is a bitch. That whole family is a bunch of pussies
Missed it, what happened?
Two handed Letang across the arm because they bumped into each other. He’s been acting like a bich all series.
If you were a -13 in 8 playoff games against Pittsburgh, you’d be frustrated too
Slashed letang
Bennett healthy yet?
You think he’ll take Sid’s spot when he is?
I think he won’t play with the pens again
Again with the pens again!
Pens line 4,2,1 playing good only problem one is line 3 wonder who is on that line
You’ve literally cornered the market on dumbfuckery on this page this week!
The Pens will never be able to score 4 goals a game against my king. They HAVE to win 2-1 games and they can’t. Blow it up!
Wow Rangers bench looks defeated
They look defeated by Americans and swedes.
Rust suddenly looking more like the Pens top rookie. Teams clicking well here. Firing on all cylinders.
Really? Not Sheary
Rust was named the top rookie this year no? I mean ya it’s no contest thus far in the playoffs but I’m sure Rust was named the teams top rookie internally.
Cullen conn smyth
One of the Best signings this year!
Rangers look disinterested.
They are worried about Sestito lol
Or They don’t want Zak coming back in net.
Strong possibility either way lol
What a nice pass by daley glad pens shipped that American defense for daley
Good thing the Americans and swedes showed up or we’d have no goals.
In every goal there is a Canadian behind can’t be said the opposite cuz the pass won’t make it to the player
Pull the Queen!
You’re an idiot
Is murray still thr hot goalie Maloni?
It’s Maloney
Sick pass from Daly.
Id love to have Kreider
You also love having Sestito.
For meaningless games 81 and 82, yes I do.
Wouldn’t say I wouldn’t like him in a Pittsburgh sweater, that’s how these things work. He can eat shit in blue
Anyone else wanna see Kreider run? Can’t stand that guy… He is the sam of the NYR except he isn’t as good at ball hockey
Daley needs to watch how Phil shoots it off of sid for goals. You can’t expect sid to do any work.
Bennett injured yet?
Hahaha that all you got?
He’s so bad at this.
2-2… Again playing with fire, everyone knows you have to beat the Rangers 2-1
We lost then.
Offense did their part with 2, does that mean Murray blew it since he gave up more than 1?
Sid would shatter records if the other team consistently had only 4 players on the ice
Letang gotta avoid this crap… He’s way more valuable than Nash… Bad trade
Typical Letang penalty. Offensive zone. All the time.
PHIL?! PHIL KESSEL? I THOUGHT THAT WAS YOU!!
https://metrouk2.files.wordpress.com/2016/02/100957-groundhog-day-bing-gif-ned-rye-wn6x.gif
Nice play malkin
He will make up for it with another three points!
Besides… After carrying the team last game the team can go to bat for him here
You are right the Russian has a carte Blanche in his contract when he plays a good game he has the option to disappear for next few games
Where was sid for 3 months?
I wish Sid would have a good game here
He kind of skipped that and went right to the disappearing
First goal was his fault too he was lost
Are you drunk or stupid? He wasn’t even near the play.
Second goal was Sid’s fault. Power play specialist was lost at even strength.
Does Sam call Kessel chubby because thats what he gets when he watches him play? If so, i get it now.
Hot dog cart business is boomin
Kessel is on fire. Keep your distance
Chubby traded yet?
What a fucken goal by Phil
PHIIIILLLLLLL
Love that hotdog eating American!
Who npl or Joey Chestnut
Kessel seems intense
I guess pens are behind because they didn’t have a lot of power play. Our power play specialist can’t contribute
40% dickhead. And they’re not behind. Pay attention. Chubby owns.
PP clicks there hey fucktwat
PP specialist Crosby makes an appearance
Hey Yoda Fleury suckss today. …i mean Murray.
I mean Sid
Hey! I just saw Sid!
Yoda? Maloney? How bout that Fleury-reque goal? Did Murray just become a mental midget? Can’t make the big save when it matters? Elimination game too big for him?
Murray’s not the hot goalie anymore. Maloni is ready for Zatkoff now.
Sid and Letang defending the crease well. Where you at you fat fuck sam.
Murray looks ready yogurt. #SomethingSpecial
That C would look so good on Kessels jersey
Elimination game. I expected him to step up, and he’s not dissapointing!
Yup C as chubby. I agree
Kessel with the sweet pass again.
Phil you sexy bastard
Ranger forecheck much more aggressive than in games past. Gotta be more prepared and move the puck quicker.
Another early start, another sleepwalk 1st period. Who would have thought.
that’s what happens when you have 71 and 12 on the ice at the time
They combined for five points in the most dominant win this team has had since 2013 last game out you moron
If that was MAF the usual group would be freaking out… But since it’s not we will acknowledge the fact it was tipped!
Where is Yoda
Murray isnt fazed it would seem… So there is that
Sid looking disinterested
Has he had a shift yet?
Some people have a TV.
sportsleague.me/2016/04/23/new-york-ragners-vs-pittsburgh-penguins-nhl-live-23-apr-2016/
why can’t i paste anything into this website? i have the live stream for yinz
Did the steelers sign Norman
Simply Dusty. Enough said.
Weber ($14), Toews ($13.8), E Staal ($9.5), Stastny ($7), Girardi ($7), Price ($7), Ward ($6.8), Lupul ($6.8), Luongo ($6.7). Guess what these guys all have in common.
They play hockey? I give up
If Montreal’s attendance continues to Plummet, could they possibly be one of the teams that would be on the move to a Hartford, Oklahoma City, Seattle, Houston etc?
N I G G E R S,
F A G G O T S
and J E W S!
IMO, today’s game is all about Sid and his leadership. Good teams close out inferior teams when given the opportunity. I’d like to see Sid play with desperation from the drop of the puck. Maybe lead his team to an early lead.
Too easy, lol
For once I will take jew bettmans side. He wants Panthers fans to stop Throwing rubber rats on the ice . Hope this is just the beginning for him to realize Florida was a mistake to have a hockey club and move ASAP to Canada
So basically the only way to get a Canadian team in the playoffs is to steal a team from America.
That’s right. Jaydogg for the win.
Isn’t that way Americans did with quebec team when it became Colorado
Yeah. There were no other American cup winners before that. Had to steal a team from Quebec. Moron.
Nords were the Oilers of the late 80s early 90s lol. Stock piled a fuck ton of players and sucked. They moved to Colorado and became one of the most dominant teams in the 90s lol. Dumbfuck
Hey npl you fat pig how is quick a brown doing ?
Hey stan do you think Brown is a fraud and overpaid?
Not as much as Canadian FRAUD Toews
At least toews have one bad season. Maybe snake bite season since he is on the cover of the EA sport game. But brown been bad last 3 years an nothing but a 3rd liner at its best with a first liner salary. Typical Fraud
I agree. Toews is an atypical fraud. How few frauds convince a group of people he’s worth $10.5 million. World class fraud. A fraud to end all other frauds.
And brown is not a fraud or Parise. But no one beats the ultimate biggest fraud in the NHL history or any sports combined..Mr Dipietro Fraud master the only skill and talent he had in his career was how he used to go and collect his paychecks that he didn’t deserve
A fraud or praise? I certainly don’t think brown is parise if that’s what you’re asking.
I like how the worlds biggest fraud DiPietro had to play 2+ years to defraud the Islanders of what Toews steals in a year. Yep. Toews is the biggest fraud ever. Canadian FRAUD
Joe Pavelski = real deal.
He’s seriously awesome.
Is this the same Greiss that played for for the Pens? wow what a change. He sucked for the Pens.
He didn’t suck. Fleury sucked.
It’s amazing you have the nerve to say this while saying the team let Zatkoff down in the same breath lol
The nerve!
st.blurry, the only “hall of famer” who had 4 better “backups” on the roster than he was over his career. conklin, vokoun, greiss, and murray.
remember how Conklin went on to a lengthy career where he started for a bunch of other teams. And greiss. Oh wait. They were just more injury fill ins. 9th or 10th. Blow it up.
conklin was better in 08 than st.blurry and greiss looks pretty good to me right now. even you would have to agree with that.
That’s probably why Conklin carried them to the finals. Wait….
Flyers won with only 11 shots on goal vs 44 trade holtby
Neuvirth is something special
Exactly. You’re starting to learn a little about hockey. You don’t need a “franchise goalie” to win the cup. You need a hot goalie. Every year some nobody goalie carries his team to a series win.
I remember when Philly thought the same thing and tried to duplicate things with Michael Leighton. There’s no actual substitute for real talent though. #SomethingSpecial
Take a minute and look at the cup winners for the past, I dunno, 40 years… How many fit that description?
The Blackhawks (Crawford)
Detroit (Osgood)
Penguins (Fleury)
Before you explode zero, let me clarify that I’m not suggesting those are “nobody” goalies but I also don’t think they are top of mind when you think about elite franchise goalies.
Neuvirth
Also, speaking of Tampa. It was bittersweet seeing them win, knowing it was Darzuk’s last NHL game.
Datsyuk is a lazy Russian just resting up for the WC.
#SamKnew
Hoping the Panthers advance to set up and all-Florida showdown. Florida v. Tampa would be an awesome atmosphere, and would really validate Bettmans vision of exiting Canada altogether to play in strong US-only markets filled with intelligent hockey fans.
Can’t believe it’s the playoffs and you still have many empty seats at the Panthers game. Maybe they should add more hot dog stands or maybe Hope bettman wakes up from his coma one day and move this team to quebec either ways most of the time Panthers made money was because of French clientele during the season
You have some balls the way Montreal bailed on the Habs this year. #LeMausoleeBell
Lazy rusian used last night as a warm up for the big WC in August.
Fleury for JVR
And Marner
st.blurry will fetch a 3rd round pick at best
9th or 10th. Blow it up.
Malkin traded yet guys?
Sam putting on a display of stupid like only Sam can…lol
Patrick Kane and Evgeni Malkin stink guys.
haha..sam got owned!
So malkin had a great game…kane scored a clutch goal and toews still sucks…..and a goalie other than fleury played great….safe to say sam wont be attending the insider on pittsburgh sports comment section today
i hope once in a while they show up those guys bottom line they are paid big money to make diffrence
they should do more often not once in a while
They shouldn’t take 40 games off at the beginning of a season – i agree.
sid has 70 points since december most in the league and still not good enough for you and plays vs top lines
not like the russian playing 3rd line center and only shinning on powerplay typical con artist
#typicalstan
while you bitchh about crosby
how about kane he started strong and as season went on he faded away up until last night goal
they went oposite directions sid and kane but you dont see that
You are the only moron who brought up kane to begin with, because again, all you care about it nationality…why your on a PITTSBURGH website god only knows..but knowing your level if idiocy your probably just lost……Hows toews doing?
That’s a good point. You’re in Quebec and still root for a Pittsburgh team. What does that say?
yeah as if its only me from a different city, you have zero from Edmonton ,you have Schaff from Florida,King from different parts,you have npl from planet Mars
I am sure there is more people from outside Pittsburgh then fans that that are from pittsburgh
this shows your actual pittsburgh home fans are bandwagons and dont care as much about pens with the exception of npl that can join that list
Yeah but they don’t bitchh about Americans all day and then riot for an American team you asshat. Jesus are you stupid.
Just saying, if canada is sooooooooooooooo great root for a team up there we dont need your biggoted fandom
Do points mean more in the second half of the year? Kane had a better year, so stop talking about it. And do pp goals count less? He has 6 points in 3 games. If he is only up to his one trick pony tricks, that trick is scoring, which is fine with everyone except you, because you’re a kind of stupid that only few people experience.
Also makin has what 2 goals 4 assists…to crosbys 2 goals and 4 assists…..and with 1 less game played…so hes averaging more pts than sid throught he playoffs thus far and he sat out a game….explain that?
Why would 70 points since december be good? doesn’t that accentuate how he did virtually NOTHING from October to December? Is he on a half-year contract? Oh – and Sid is a power play specialist – how many even strength points did he have last night? That’s right. Z-E-R-O
Malkin is the only conn smyth winner on the team
I don’t get how you can be so dug in on this argument. You’re very wrong sam… you are far more wrong here than the anti-MAF crowd!
Have to say I am enjoying the positive commentary from the “blow it up” community. Kinda glad we fixed the coaching as opposed to blowing up the team hey guys?
Blow up Edmonton (I mean the city)
You’re nearly as bad as sam at this… you really are lol.
It’s lmao dumbfuck
Something needs to happen to that Edmonton team though. I don’t have the answer, but to have 4 first overall picks in like 6-7 years and still be this bad is pathetic.
Oh the team… fuck ya they are a case study on how to fuck up the rebuild through the draft. Not that the players they drafted were bad picks as much as the team management seemed to fuck up everything they could from the GM to coaching for the 1st 5 years. They also refused to move bodies to tighten up areas that they needed help in like D and in net. Only this last year did they finally make front office moves that make sense but then they overspent to add Talbot who I dont think is much better… Read more »
I think they need defense more than anything. Nurse had a ton of potential, but they still have huge holes and mediocre goaltending. People complain about fleury here. I’d like to hear their thoughts if they were oiler fans.
They have spent assets and time on names like Fasth, Scrivens and now Talbot…. all three guys have the exact same resume. They looked really good on teams that play a little defence and insulate them but struggle in a major way when things are not near as tight. I mean sure not all goaltenders can do what Hasek or Luongo did once upon a time and tend to need someone in front of them to help. Talbots a slight upgrade but I have my doubts on him as a fulltime starter.
If fleury does end up getting dealt, you would that team would make a lot of sense. Fleury has played behind some shaky defenses here and is still only 31 believe. They have a ton of assets. Who knows though.
Would love to see the Pens grab a piece or two that has struggled in Edmonton. We have watched a few blossom elsewhere plus I actually wanna like the Oilers (hard because they are so bad all the time) so I would like to see MAF on a team like that if he leaves.
Doing pretty well with Fleury on vacation
Murray is the real deal, no one has said otherwise. Questions pertaining to how ready he is was a legit concern… not sure if this Rags series truly answers that question but he looks dynamite. That noted… I hope MAF is back for next series… don’t care if he is picked to start but I would feel much better going to Washington with the tandem of MAF and Murray than I am Murray and “hot goalie”
Don’t take a hot goalie out of the net. Murray should stay until his play proves otherwise.
Let’s get Zatkoff back in there then. He was sizzling!
No he wasn’t?
Actually he was until his team sabatoged him
Which never happened to MAF, he always blew it behind a rock solid wall at the blueline back!
Exactly my point.
Where did I suggest this in my post? I said I didnt care if MAF starts meaning I would be fine with riding Murray… he is actually good. Do you know you have a reading disability?
I was responding to your brave comment that fleury should be one of two goalies that dresses when he’s healthy. Bravo fuck face. That’s a brave observation. Go out on a limb zero. Murray closes out the Rangers and Fleury is ready for Caps game one, who starts ?
“Don’t take a hot goalie out of the net. Murray should stay until his play proves otherwise.” – Youre telling me this doesnt suggest I stated we should put MAF in game one? Personally, looking at how good Murray has played and knowing that he is FAR more capable than “hot goalie”, now we make the case to play Murray unless he has a bad outing. That noted the same concerns exist for Murray as a relatively unknown commodity vs MAF, who despite your best efforts to state otherwise is playing at a far higher level than he was in… Read more »
I do find it interesting how enamoured you’ve become with maintaining the status-quo of the roster suddenly… thought we were best served by blowing things up and starting from scratch. Correct me if I am wrong but were you not a cheerleader of this idea?
Hows Kane doing? Hahahahahahaha. Such a bad night for you.
Disgusting Hawks victory
Patrick Kane…
Pens-Caps is going to be epic.
Sam. Toews has an assist. No no. I’m dead serious. He got a point. #C #Canada #SomethingSpecial
How is your league mvp doing. Kane
lol great call sam…Kane never steps up.
It’s like this moron seriously plans these things.
Scoring OT goals. Not too bad. #Samknew
So when fleury’s sore vagina heals he’s in goal right? He’s the franchise goalie.
Yes. He’s in goal.
That will be an interesting call. I think it Depends on when he’s ready to come back.
Zatkoff for life
Blurry is the only goalie in NHL history to lose 2 separate series when his team was up 3-1. They better start Murray for the duration or its over. (Don’t worry, they aren’t going to let st blurry screw it up again)
9th or 10th. Time to blow it up.
Have to win 2-1 vs NY… we fucking blew it last night. MAF would have kept it 2-1
Of course he’s in goal. Hopefully for game 1 against the Caps….but I don’t think he’s close to healthy.
Pretty amazing what the Pens are doing with an AHL goalie.
#SomethingSpecial #Zatkoff
Someone special is reason why pens are winning series. Lose first two games and it’s totally different game 3. But you know that, you follow the box score
The reason! He’s the piece!
That’s Scuds, who by the way is logging top pairing minutes with Doughty.
Real feather in his cap as they’re about to be eliminated.
I wasn’t promoting Scuds, just amazed that’s where he’s ended up
He is not just an ahl goalie he is the next price in few years I said it on past I say again in time he will be the best goalie in the league
Does this year count as Murray’s rookie year? If not he’s an AHL goalie.
How are the Penguins ever going to win without their franchise goalie.
Sid lost his goal to Hornqvist. Now just a #PPAssistSpecialist.
they said on TSN they may reverse it and give it back to sid. kind of like the balk call the other night in san diego.
9th or 10th. Tear it down.
sullivan benched malkin the other night and look what happens. that coach got some balls. don’t think for a second he didn’t tell the doctors to shut blurry down. he knows the pens have a legit chance and murray is there best option.
9th or 10th. Tear it down.
new coach, new goalie….the future, hard to see it is
You were saying the same shit into March you jackass… Have to beat the rags 2-1
Gotta win 2-1. Literally said that less than 48 hours ago. Raging turd.
Except you said it after they got the coach…
You claimed they needed to tear it down after there was a new coach. And the goalie was solid all year. You’re dumb. Easy to see that is.
what’s with the “all due respect” to st.blurry? murray in the net is the best thing that ever happened for the pens chances. even on TSN tonight they were praising murray saying the pens now have stability in the net. everyone knows what’s up except for the local brainwashed fan base.
Yes I am sure that was the exact context lol you’re such a turd! FTR it’s not in the highlight package at all!
Why can’t you just be happy the Pens are up 3-1 and Murray is playing great? Who cares about Fleury? What does he have to do with anything? Instead, you are talking about a brainwashed fanbase and criticizing an injured Stanley Cup-winning goaltender.
Gonna miss Pasha.
Go Blues. I want an 8:00 game.
Won’t you be asleep by then?
Sid. Power play specialist.
