Edge to the Pens trailing Sunday morning but with a goalie start and Crosby/Malkin in hand I would be bet on black
Worst lineup move of the year cost my Habs a berth in Round 2. Didnt think the Pens would start Murray in b2b games but they did because theyre fighting for a playoff berth themselves. Poetic how the NHL Pens mightve screwed my Habs in their matchup against the FNHL Pens. Craziness!
I feel for you, Mordecai. DeSmith was the assumed starter all day, until Sullivan announced Murray would go again about 30 minutes before the game (with no morning skate for the Pens). This was Murray's 8th straight start (a new career high) and his 2nd back-to-back in two weekends (also a career first). I would have made the same decision if I had been in your shoes, figuring DeSmith would've been the starter.It was a great match up. Too bad one of us had to lose. I feel very fortunate, no question.
A tough loss for Montreal. However it is a great victory, well deserved for . Penguins' long-term vision through the draft with Carl Grundstrom in 2016 and their brilliant Supplemental Draft selection of KHL goaltender Mikko Koskinen plus the acquisition of little known young netminder Pheonix Copley contributed to MCrow's success. Well done Pittsburgh.
Not sure if this is the place but I would like to see a more flexible independent player game start to lock a roster versus the first game of the day. Current format really allows for Lady Luck to play more of a role than I would like to see. #Habsrule I’ve been upset with this during the regular season business mans special days and weekendsI will say I was rooting for the underdog here but tough loss not getting the right starters in
