I don’t buy that that was a fair fight by any means but if JO wants to be a tough guy in the league he needs more of a killer instinct. Though when you’re jumped by a punk what are you gonna do?

If JO wants to be a tough guy... maybe let HIM say such and not let an 70 year old GM run his mouth

When jimmy was playing in the nhl guys would be lining up to fight Wilson. Hell if he was 40 years younger he would probably have a go with him. If Wilson would have fought him when he was ready I doubt he would have one pinched him. I don’t blame Rutherford at all.

People have been saying Murray is the type of player that needs somebody pushing him. I didn't buy into that theory initially, but I'm starting to become a believer. Guy just looks different since DeSmith was flirting with the starting job.

If you think about it, he’s always been a better 1A than a consensus #1, so I would agree

Murray seems to be good when the team is good.

He's definitely playing better though and so is the team. But I see what you are saying, because Murray is not athletic he's a position goalie.

Back then, Wilson wouldn't get to 'fight' half the time... he'd get jumped and sucker punched... then ANOTHER Capitol (4th liner of course) would jump and sucker punch the one who got Wilson.

Oleksiak a healthy scratch

That was a byoot

Gave Kessel way too much space... unfair to their goalie.

Also should have been 6 minutes total PP... Rust was bleeding, and he sticked Sid and Rust

Sullivan doesn't change a winning roster very often. I wouldn't read too much into it for now.

Sick save by Murrs

And so on and so forth. It would have been great.

Trying to watch this game and the WJC. I was surprised to see the Pens with the edge in shots. Looked like the blues had the puck a lot more.

Sooo.... no Rust?

Pens really not playing well this game despite the score.

Would be really nice to get another line operating with some consistency. Basically a one line team again.

Riikki with the bomb

They're not even a one line team this game. The PP was it.

Congrats! 1st ever NHL goal.

Riiiiiiiiiikolaaaaaaaaa!

He does have a bomb. The knock on him was it takes him too long to get it off

Sid's line has been good. The others look like they'd rather be doing something else.

I can't stand Cullen anymore. I don't want to hate the guy, but he doesn't deserve his roster spot.

Gorgeous goal. Started with a great play by MM

Good thing the PP showed up tonight. The Pens are playing like dogpoop

Just seems like there's no chemistry with the bottom 3 lines. I'm so over Derek Brassard and Matt Cullen.
