MOre likely it's going to be a boring game from here on out with the rangers having a slight edge but unable to penetrate the collapsing around the goalie Pittsburgh will do

Look at this guy who thinks Dan Bylsma is still coaching the Pens

So you see, Mike Sullivan has this crazy theory that protecting your lead by collapsing around your goalie is well and good, but an even better idea is to collapse around the other team's goalie

By laying down the last day of the season, the Islanders not only avoided the Penguins but also get a second round bye instead of playing the Caps

I said this last game and got called out for it but I agree completely. Dude looks like he hardly has to move to make the saves.
Admittedly he doesn't have to but he's just so calm, you can tell the team loves being in front of him compared to Zatkoff.

Well that's less because Murray's calmer than Zatkoff and more because he's better than Zatkoff. The team also loves MAF, who is the least calm person that has ever donned goalie equipment, but MAF is pretty good.

You probably should have specified that the GoFundMe to hire someone to have Dan Boyle whacked that Levitate is currently setting up doesn't count as a charity

So when the Pens beat the Caps behind Murray that's the point where there's officially a goalie controversy in Pittsburgh right?

the Rangers

I am in a strange place

I was actually expecting it to be the first time since Tom Barrasso or something that the Pens shut the Rangers out in the playoffs, but no, MAF shut them out in Games 2 and 3 in 2014 just before it all went to hell. No big surprise I forgot everything about that series, I guess.
