Penguins/NHL
The Pittsburgh Penguins have a slew of problems right now with their play/roster and those issues will only be magnified if Matt Murray has any sort of a lengthy injury.
Murray left tonight’s game vs the Philadelphia Flyers in visible pain after getting his leg slammed into by Jacob Voracek.
Murray needed assistance to the locker room and did not return.
Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan said after the game that Murray obviously has a lower body injury and will undergo further evaluation on Tuesday. Sullivan expects more answers tomorrow.
Tristan Jarry earned his second career NHL win in relief tonight, stopping six of eight shots.
“If [hide] [Matt is out long-term], then Tristan is going to have to make timely saves for us, game in and game out, and we believe he can do that for us,” Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan said if Jarry ends up having to be able to handle a starters workout for an extended period.[/hide]
Guentzel stars, Crosby nets OT Winner in 5-4 win over Flyers
Another inconsistent night from the Penguins but a second straight 5-goal effort.
Pittsburgh trailed 3-1 heading into the third period without their No. 1 netminder and rallied with third period goals from Patric Hornqvist (8), Bryan Rust (4), Jake Guentzel (11) to force overtime.
The Penguins then capped off the come from behind win with an overtime goal from Sidney Crosby (10) to deliver a 5-4 win against the Flyers.
The OT winner from Crosby was his 11th career overtime goal and 2nd career OT goal vs the Flyers.
Jake Guentzel starred with 2 goals and 1 assist in the win and has 8 goals in his last 11 games.
The Penguins peppered the Flyers with 52 shots.
Philadelphia’s winless streak is now at 8 games and it’s tick tock……for Flyers head coach Dave Hakstol.
Anyone hear the rumour that Cole was looking for 5 million per on a reup? Not sure how substantiated that is but if there is truth to that then fuck him! I like what he brings but I would like his game a lot more if it was worth 5 million a season
Spit-balling based on Kulikovs salary and Brendan Smiths… Vegas seems to be on the list of targets, Maybe that Machessault idea comes full circle? Of course it would take more than Cole but then again the team would need to move a little salary to fit Marchessault longer term, again that’s IF (and a big one) he is looked at as a 3C as opposed to a blossoming 2C
So just for blocking shots he is looking 5 million. What about his dumb penalties. It’s like orpig used to take dumb penalties and was out of position most of the time and team payed him based on hits
Coming from a guy who pays twice on a site just to give more thumbs down.
Orpik was crucial for many years, he fell off his last couple years! Coles dynamite especially at his current price point… you’re a fucken retard
Cole for Fleury.
I see Sam still makes his inflamatiry biased uneducated posts targeting anything not Canadian
Cole in contract extension talks with two other teams who will be conning back in a deal??
Sam you got NHL 18?
Yes
Team playing better when the Russian is on his annual vacation
They are 2 and 2 and needed a late comeback to take this one, don’t be stupid. It’s nice that Sid decided to wake up when Geno went down with injury though
Hopefully it isn’t bad. Always nice when Sid handles the flyers
Ya it is, 9 points his last 5 games. He’s nearly a PPG and I bet is only gett8ng started
Simply Dusty just got hard.
