Big wing fan here. They are delicious. Probably throw some in the air fryer this weekend.

It isn’t that Murray sucks, it is that in a playoff chase as well as tight games in the playoffs giving up THAT goal doesn’t serve. Lastnights was bad, but didn’t kill due to the fact that they pulled out the win and it was out of conference.

In the playoffs you can’t give that up.

He gave up 1 goal...

Sure it only had a 3.6% chance of going in but that was the only one that went in.

It would nice if the team could score more than 1 or 2 goals a game.

Sure you can...and it doesnt even matter that you did if you score the next one...

Its when it happened and how that people get caught up in...not looking at the whole picture.

I'd be more concerned if they weren't getting the chances to score but they are getting a lot of them. Pucks will start going in more frequently again.

Wow. Dude, come on. How about faulting the Pens for having a terrible PP? When you’re in the playoff chase, you need your special teams to give a chance and they are failing miserably.

I agree completely that the team needs to score more and the PP needs to be better. 100%. But they didn’t and it wasn’t so you need that save. And it has just been that save...it has been several times that a shot from his left from 30 feet has gotten by. That is all I am saying. They always say in the playoffs, in a 7 game series, you have to win one goal games, it would be good to not need to bit if you have to...

At the outdoor game in the dying seconds it was from his right side...and in the pouring rain...also, with a Pen d-man screening the shot...just sayin...

Also, they didnt need that save last night....they won.

You are correct, right side, rain, d-man screen...Jack Johnson sucks... better?

So is Hornqvist playing well and the goals will come or do the Pens have a Hornqvist problem?

(Actually be glad if anyone scores other than the Crosby unit).

Scoring is the problem right now. Crosby, Geuntzel, Rust and Letang is where the scoring starts and stops with this team. Crosby should be the league MVP the way he has willed this team to the playoffs.

Crosby Staals Nashville!

If Murray is letting in one or two goals, he’s doing his job and the rest of the team is failing to do theirs.

Once again, I didn’t say he sucks, or needs replaced.

“PSA for Pens fans...

It's perfectly fine to give Matt Murray well-deserved credit for playing well, while also being concerned about these late-game goals.

At this point, it may be a mental thing. Almost like he expects it to happen, and he's second guessing himself.”

-Mike Necciai

They sure Schultz'd that one.
