+Murray
+Sheary
+Malkin
+Wilson
+The Bonino-Kessel duo
+Fehr for fighting Dubinsky and sparking the team

There weren't many minuses tonight tbh. Daley played that first goal very poorly, but he had a solid game overall.

Team needed that.

Get Fleury, Crosby, and Letang back Saturday and go nuts

-Columbus' announcers. Man, I can't stand Errey and Steigerwald, but the announcers for Columbus are hands down the worst I have ever listened to.

Well it was better, but against the worst team in the league with their 3rd string goalie.

If we've turned the corner, the next game against the Wild will be a better indiction

Great game.

Would have loved seeing someone feed Prout and Dubinsky their teeth

Daley is not terrible at all. Team needs a couple of pieces and players to be healthy, but there are things I like about this team when they play inspired.

Massive stick tap to Matt Murray. I really really like this kid and I think he will make a great heir apparent to Flower. Zatkoff you're dismissed

it's only one game but I REALLY hope that opens the offensive flood gates.

Malkin is the heart and soul of this team. Always has been. Crosby leads by example but Malkin is the spark.

Warsofsky experiment has ended. He's not good.

Phil was every bit the spark Geno was tonight, and it was glorious.

Torts Time!

CBJ is bad and that goalie was more Zatkoff than Murray.
The league is a joke and won't change until something horrible forces them to.

They scored but it was against Columbus, so idk. Confidence building at least. Murray is already good and he's still younf, they really can't trade him. He's so calm.


Bring the cringe worthy entertainment, board.

Question: with Jarry also performing extremely well in WBS (1.5 GAA, .940 save%), do you waive Zatkoff with the intention of sending him down and run with a Fleury-Murray tandem?

I have no problem with Kessel running his own line. We offered Staal 6 million to be a third liner, if Geno, Sid and Phil can all produce on their own, I'm all for it.

Congrats to Murray for his first NHL win and Sully on his first win as Pens coach.

+ Young legs and youthful exuberance

+ Coming to the aid of our stars (even if Fehr & Wilson got their ***** kicked)

+ Stars (Kessel & Geno) playing like stars

I'd like to see how Kunitz-Boninop-Kessel looks against Minny.

Sheary, Horny, Perron, Fehr. Probably first two with Sid, second two with Geno.

Roll three, and sprinkle in the fourth line a little.

Hard to say. For purely contractual reasons, may be good to keep Murray down.
