If the Penguins are only going to miss Murray for 2 to 4 weeks, that's a godsend.
Do you think this is how it works? He just dials a number and they give him what he wants? You seriously think that is what happens?So now we need a back-up goalie.
Jimmy, wake up and do something.
He had all summer to find a back-up and decided to go with Niemi, which would have been shocking if he worked out. This isn’t hindsight, Murray has been injury prone during his career and this should have been dealt with before December.Do you think this is how it works?

Why not wait for MRI/Xray results for Murray? And this isn't NHL 2018.

Are we surprised Murray and Geno are hurt? I’m not, it was just a matter of time.
It just gets old seeing people blindly defend Rutherford for everything. So now it takes GMs 5 months to find a friggin back-up goalie?I can't tell anymore if you're actually serious or if this is the world's greatest prank account.
Well he was awful. This is a pretty weak statement. You can argue this about anyone.Niemi absolutely would have been fine if he had played like a slightly below-average goalie, like he normally did, rather than one of the worst goalies the NHL had ever seen.
I'd think Jarry would be fine for 2-4 weeks.
But we have a backup; Jarry. If he wasn't here, I'm sure we would have looked a lot harder for a better backup this summer. But we wanted someone as cheap as we could find. And I'm sure some other backup options were hesitant to come here because of Jarry.It just gets old seeing people blindly defend Rutherford for everything.

Got it.

Goaltending depth is important. If you can get a former back up that is someone's number 3 right now, it's worth it. It gives you the option of sending back Jarry after Murray comes back so you can keep all 3 or you can waive and hope to slip the other goalie down.Why do we need a backup if he's only out 2-4 weeks?? Jarry can handle the load.
