Matt Murray with another concussion? That’s not good for him. #3

Pens are going to have a hard time counting on him. Casey DeSmith is at best a back up. So they need Tristan Jarry to step up....or time to sign someone.

I could see them signing Lehtonen — and him being HUGE for them. Ugh

Also, what's up with all these blowouts? It used to be a rare thing to see a team put up 7-8 goals in a single game and now some team is doing it every single day. Even Carolina is doing it!!! o_O

Its not the new chest protectors, is it? :eek:
Might have to go back to the old ones...

I think many teams trying to copy last year knights strategy. Aggressive in offense. It's just they don't have Fleury in the net.

There has been a lot if pond hockey this year. Run and gun and no discipline defensively. Most games have been pretty sloppy.

Yeah - he was pretty done by the time he got to DC. Remember his skating being very plodding, even for the clutch and grab era

I remember receiving some snarky gif reactions when I said Matthews was a top 5 center in the Free Agency thread this summer.

Alzner and Shattenkirk healthy scratches, Nate Schmidt serving a 20 game suspension and Mike Green out with a fatigue illness (disease attacking his liver). It wasn't long ago where we would have been pleased to have all four of them in the line up for the Caps.

I feel awful for Green though, that's terrible news. He was a pretty good player for us in his best years.

Matthews threads...lol. Let me tell you how much fun it was being a global mod when every single thread turned into Matthews vs Laine, complete with Canadians fighting Finns and everyone else piling on.

If the Leafs win the Cup this entire board will suffer permanent hard drive failure.
