Got concerned for a minute there on the Pittsburgh record.  Should be updated to 20-7-4, 44 points

Although I think I have to wonder how much longer the Pens are going to stick with a 50/50 platoon of Murray/Fleury when Murray has a 1.86 GAA and .937 SV% compared to Fleury's 3.42 GAA and .900 SV%

Whoops, thanks didn't update from Arizona.

And Murray is starting to take over the net. Fleury got 9 of his starts while Murray was out with his injury. Since then it's gone 14 to 9 for Murray, and Murray's started the last 5 straight.

Good to know.  Does Fleury have any value at this point or is likely to be one of Vegas' goaltenders next year?

I think the question of value comes back to the question of "What happened?".  Why has Fleury's game fallen off?  Is it a confidence thing, or is it he just needs a change of scenery to rejuvenate his career?

The funny thing is Fleury was actually coming off his 2 best seasons statistically before he got hurt in the playoffs and the whole Murray thing started. 0.920 Sv% in 14-15 and 0.921 Sv% in 15-16.

If not www.atdhe.to works, finding a Canadian feed though is hit and miss.

Found the CBCplayer feed on the Reddit and the sound works now. Not choppy at all on my laptop. PM if you need the link.

Crosby hasn't scored in two games? Over-under for him tonight is officially set at 2.5

Man, that new anthem singer sure is trying hard.

Our anthem singer is back! She does a great air grab

 

[ZBBM]

Awesome Andersome.

 

[Kin]

Admittedly stabbing the other goalie in the face could prove a pretty solid strategy.
