Underrated star of Penguins win vs. Bruins: The penalty killing unit
Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports They made huge plays at two huge moments. It was embarrassing. It was a joke. It was insulting. Everyone involved should be completely embarrassed with themselves. No, that is not directed at the fans for giving Matt Murray the ol’ Bronx Cheer on Sunday, but the officiating tandem of Kelly Sutherland and Francois St. Laurent for having what seemed to be zero interest in doing their jobs in officiating a hockey game. Yes, it is low-hanging fruit to go at on-ice officials (low-hanging fruit still tastes sweet, though!), and I understand that is a hard...

Murray or Jarry: An interesting (and telling) decision awaits the Penguins on Sunday
Photo by Gerry Thomas/NHLI via Has Matt Murray done enough to win back the net for another game? An interesting development has popped up since the calendar changed to 2020. It’s right there on nhl.com: Matt Murray, for the first time in a long time, has been outplaying Tristan Jarry. Jarry has allowed three goals (no more, no less) in each of his six games this season. To be fair, many have not been that of the soft or weak variety, but more situational or just a victim of “ahh, it happens” when he’s allowed a goal. However, that in and of itself is noteworthy...
