Yeah, I thought Murray was the obvious choice. I do think he's been more rookie like the last couple of games but he wasn't the reason they lost. If he's shaky today I hope Sullivan pulls him early.

Last game looked like an anomaly. Malkin was really bad and the coach started messing with the lines ala game 2 against the Rags. I'm not thrilled with Hornquist (not a good winger, not good at defense) but it's too late to change the Crosby line. It's deployed as a shutdown line not a scoring line. Sully tried 5 or 6 different wingers with Sid to turn that into a scoring line, all except the one who could help him score against the Ovechkin line. Again I tip my hat to the Caps, they never put Ovechkin on an island. They changed that line by putting him with another highly skilled center and leaving the other skilled winger in place. I'm expecting to see those lines again today.

The Pens (all of them including the coach) need to stay disciplined today. I think (hope) they can win today by keeping their cool.
