Just hard to have enough time to gel with the team I get that and it's probably true but I really don't see any difference between Shattenkirk and Wideman when he was here except Wideman was more hilarious when he hosed up. Shattenkirk just looks sad.

Regardless of how the series/playoffs end for Pit, if Crosby is healthy (concussion-wise) at the end then I'll be content because I got to witness something wholly unexpected. Following MAF's probable last hurrah with the Pens has been great. I'm happy that he has put together a string of strong performances for a "farewell tour". We all know that he has some glaring flaws (e.g. rebound control, positional over-commitment), but when it works out in his favor that scuttling and scrambling is a joy to behold. Murray is clearly a more reliable and overall skillful netminder, but MAF is always fun to watch (both in good and bad times) and he's a drat charming fellow off the ice too. Earnest, goofy, clever, and endearing, he's easily my favorite person to have ever regularly donned a Pens jersey.

Matt Zerella posted:Man. WTF Pitt. Seems like you're putting on a pair of Bad Idea Jeans putting Crosby back in so fast. I mean it seems like they followed the protocol. He stayed off the ice Wednesday. Assuming he had no symptoms that day they then put him on the ice for a light practice Thursday. With no symptoms there, the next step would be a full contact practice which would have him being just able to play tomorrow provided he feels fine after this practice. I kinda wish they'd hold him out until at least game 6 but if the Bone Shamans say he can play I guess he can play.

Hoping Crosby is healthy as well because then there'll be some secret schadenfreude for the Rangers fans who were quietly thinking "all we have to do is get past Ottawa! This is our year and we didn't even have to get Kreider to kill him".

Meaning that you think the Senators will beat the Rangers, or that he's only good enough to face one team but not the other?

Ovie has been Jeckyll and Hyde in this series. At 5v5 he was good in game 1 and really good in game 2, but he was pretty bad in games 3 and 4. I would have preferred that it wasn't an elimination game that Trotz was shaking things up, but I can see why he might. I also wouldn't be surprised if he goes back to the usual combos early in game 5.

It might be fair to ask whether the caps lineup needs a. If shake in the offseason as maybe it's too predictable now but hard to do that successfully with an already super talented lineup

THE MACHO MAN posted:I haven't actually checked but it seems like theees a lot of low cf teams making the post season. I know the Rangers are a breakout team these days. Don't know about the others as muv The spread between good and bad possession teams is much smaller than in past years because, for all their old timey grit n' compete, coaches and GMs are directly trying to improve in that aspect.

Jarry is largely untested in the NHL, save a very small sample size. But in the AHL, dude is a wrecking ball of a goalie. It would be fascinating if anything happened to Fleury to see what occurs from there. Likely awful things, but then again, who thought Murray was gonna play his way to a cup?

Yep. My assumption would be Murray/Jarry is going to be the Pens combo for quite a while if Fleury gets dealt.

Look Around You posted:Wasn't Murray a blue chip prospect lighting up the ahl the same way jarry has been? Murray lit up the AHL in a way few goalies ever have. He put up a 940 and a 930 in his two seasons there. Jarry had a 925 this year which is pretty good. Hard to say how he'd play if he came in. I didn't notice anything glaringly suspect about him in his one start this year.

Jamwad Hilder posted:except this exact thing has happened with Crosby/Penguins medical staff before Yes. A staff that was fired for doing just that. It's a completely new medical staff run by the best sports medicine center in the area. It's been this way for a couple seasons. I don't understand why everyone keeps bringing this up. And the Pens have been especially careful with concussions after the fiasco with the old staff and Crosby.

Also, maf is killing it, but obviously our old rear end, former goalie gm is definitely way too smart to fall in love with an aging, locker room guy keeper on a hot streak. Yeah, I mean there's no chance he'll be fooled into keeping the young, consistent, and more talented guy over maf. No way. It could never happen.
