I've seen some comments about Morrow and Murray being over the hill and on the decline.

Morrow was born in 1979, same as Kunitz and Dupuis. Murray was born in 1980, same as Brooks Orpik.

All are younger than Matt Cooke.

Yea, I kind of ignored that when I saw people saying Morrow was too "old" now. He wants that Stanley cup badly, as does Murray

I'm less worried about chemistry and more worried about how quickly these new guys learn the system. This line up has seen plenty of different faces this year but they've all played the system whether it was here or in WBS, until now.

Morrow should be the easier transition of the two. "When you see #71, pass him the puck".

More like....go to the net with your stick on the ice, and while you are at it, punish anyone who messes with 71 or 87

^^this^^. Get your ass in front of the net and own the crease. Morrow can do that too

Awesome...fear Murray

I want him to rip Hartnell's head whenever he tries to camp in front of the net.

I like both deals. Murray will help against guys like Lucic and Hartnell (if he itsn't golfing).

Do you know why I think Murray will be great for us? We have slowed the game down a bit and we have seen the results. Slower pace fits his game. Will be awessome to see Murray moving bodies and Morrow getting the dirty goals in front of the net.

Btw, Morrow looks a lot like Cooke. If he can be as effective, I'll be happy

I was born in 1974, so I've been declining for a while now lol.

Just saw the press conference with Morrow...it couldve been on mute and you know he wants a cup bad you can just see it in his eyes. So pumped for this.

- Orpik44

I believe this led to the nickname, "Bongo Boy". He looked like a kid playing bongos.

I know the bar is set high, but if he plays his heart out and the team goes far, he could be loved here like Guerin or Roberts when it's over. You know Billy G is going to tell him all about it.

Haha yup

Well.... I guess the TDL around here will be pretty boring. I can't believe there are reports out there suggesting we're still in on Iggy.

Another 3rd liner? Cooke-sutter-morrow isn't good enough?

The reports are coming from sources from Calgary. They are trying like hell to build a bidding war for him. Rational people know Pittsburgh isn't after him and moved on. Their actions speak loud and clear.

Again, Pittsburgh told the world yesterday and today with its actions, it moved on from Iginla. Shero wouldn't be that dumb would he?

Its just a joke with nh haha. Hemsky may get dealt somewhere.

Yea if Iginla really wants to come here he can sign with us in the offseason.

Yeah, they said the same things about Roberts and Guerin when they arrived too. Once those guys got here they played like youngsters and were renergized since they were playing for a shot at the Cup.
