Post-Game Talk: Cole's Plus/Minus: Pens vs. Stars -- Matt Murray is damn good!

[ColePens]

++++ Murray: What a game by Muz. Dude made key save after key save. Would like a little better team defense, but so be it. Muz was key tonight. We don't want to rely on making that many crazy saves. We have to commit to team defense a lot better.

++++ Sid's line: Once again Sid's line from the drop of the puck was on it. Great energy and Rusty had himself a game. He started the energy off and Jakey put it home. Great game again by Sid's line. I'm running out of words.

++++ McCann!! WHAT A GOAL! He was dangerous and the kid just keeps scoring. And what else can you say? His goal tonight speaks for itself. Beauty. Minor pluses to both Kessel/Bluegs who finally looked to click a bit as a line.

= Defense: Some really sloppy in-zone play but also some good PKing and individual play. I don't know how to rate the defense as a whole. A little all over the map. I did not like the in-zone play. But that was probably a bit team related.


- L3: Probably their worst game in about 10. Just not playing well tonight and defensively were not good. Lots of transition on that line.

Radulov looks like he'd steal your car and then try to sell it back to you.

Somehow they won! But man, that was some of the WORST defensive play I've seen in ages.

Thank you, Matt Murray.

Atta boy Murray and Canner.

No points for sid is my only minus. I’m doubting he hits 100. Glad we got more than 1 goal.

Can Paul Martin and Jake have more kids?

 

[Ogrezilla]

Murray is so good.

McCann had one of the nicest goals of the season.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

Pretty awesome 3rd.

 

[JBreed02]

Hahaha anyone see that banana radulov threw?

 

[2wayPlay]

Nice job boys! Really good stuff from MM again tonight. Boards will be quiet tonight

 

[TNT87]

M&M. Murray and McCann!

 

[LOGiK]

What an excellent game and a nice surprise of winning in regulation!

Great entertaining game.

 

[ncm7772]

Murray was excited at the end, I like that.

 

[Pancakes]

At 93 points now. Pretty close to locking up a spot for sure I'd say. 1-2 more wins ought to do it.

 

[SouthGeorge]

I wanted to see all those hats in Dallas

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Somebody needs to gif Radulov throwing a banana in frustration. He was angry and it was the first thing he picked up. Hilarious.

 

[PensandCaps]

shoulda put DeSmith in the last minute

 

[DesertPenguin]

Bringing back Malkin and we might have a stew goings here

 

[Clatartar]

Sully needs to start using McCann before Sid for the en goals

Great game otherwise

 

[Ogrezilla]

Can Paul Martin and Jake have more kids?
