It's the lighting. It looks dark as hell on root.

When the camera isn't moving it looks okay, but as soon as it moves it blurs terribly. I would hate to be a Blues fan if this is what it's always like.

Anyone watching the game on NBCSN? Looks really blurry IMO.
- Pens_Burgh


My GCL feed is the same way. Never seen it look like this before. Certainly not the lighting. I've watched plenty of STL games before.
Cole was outta position and that's how that 2 on 1 happened.

It boils my blood seeing Suckjoy out there every game. Like no one sees how terrible he is in management?

I figured it would be blacked out on game center. I may jump on the Xbox and see if it's any better because this is terrible. I was gonna say I don't ever remember an STL game being this bad, let alone any game I've ever watched.

Why is Porter still up here??? And don;t say he can PK because he doesn't even do that well. The PK should be Hagelin and Fehr and Kuhnhacle and Cullen with Rust and Crosby as a third.

I have this awful feeling Zatkoff is going to lose us this game. I feel like we're controlling play but every time they get a rare opportunity Zatkoff makes it look hard

No way I hate the Eagles with a passion but Hotel Claifornia sounds like a different band. We covered that song once or twice. You can just have a 2 guitar jamoff at the end.

Rust is pretty loudly making a claim for a permanent spot. He just wins battles.

Fleury is a big part of the team from a personality standpoint. I think he is a great team guy and a big asset in the dressing room. That said, the Pens should be bringing up Murray after the trade deadline. Let Fleury get some rest and see what you have in Murray.

If Murray can prove he is the real deal, Fleury should be shopped. I'd like to see what a team like Calgary, Buffalo or Toronto might offer. In 2 years that Fleury contract will be an anchor.

Yep just a business decision. You can be loyal and never win a cup or you can protect a core and make business decisions and improve your chance at a cup. Chicago traded Patrick Sharp this year. Lost Oduya to free agency. Thought about trading Crawford. Sent Bickell to the minors. Those are key personalities for that team, but the NHL has a cap and you have to unload.

Honestly a deal like Shattenkirk for Fleury would seem like fair value. Not evaluating on whether St. Louis would want Fleury, but longer term we need to add a 3D. Even if we keep Pouliot and Dumoulin keeps developing we probably need to add a 3D. Cup teams have guys at 3D who are first pairing guys.

How would
Letang-Maata
Shat-Dumoulin
Pouliot-Daley

Work out. That would seem like a great pairing. And my guess is at some point we move Fleury and take our shot with Murray. Its the only way we can fix the 3D position longer-term.

None of that happens if Cole does his job and takes the man or the puck.

There are other avenues to fix the problem, it just may not be as fast as we would all like. I have thrown out this very lineup the past couple days, nobody seems to indulge/entertain the thought of it. The cost to get Shattenkirk just does not seem to match up what the Pens currently possess.
