This in every single urinal at the Wells Fargo Center:

“It’s not the first building that’s happened in,” Crosby said, smiling. “I don’t know if they stole that idea from someone else.”

I'm sure they all enjoyed having piss sprayed back onto them, too.

They probably did enjoy the first shower in months. I can't imagine hating a person so much that you'd spend money for pictures for people to urinate on. How sad does your life have to be to do this?

how exactly did the refs out think themselves on that penalty? maybe they said the word "hook" out loud and thought there's too much paperwork involved to change it to "high stick"? this might be the worst officiating i've ever seen over a 2 game stretch. just in the volume of blown calls and the weird way they're trying to even things out and ref to the score.

Not that this answers that question or comment, but blood from a high stick is not an automatic double minor.

Yeah, I saw that yesterday. But on the other hand, it’s also an automatic double minor.

The initial call was for a hooking that happened before the high stick. The high stick came after that and an arm went up for it. I think they didn't want to have a two minute hook combined with a double minor for the high stick with a Flyer already in the box (IIRC). Maybe they were concerned for their personal safety. I am pretty sure that if we did that with the lead and being the visitors we would have experienced the full weight of hockey "justice."

I've seen this a couple of times in the last two months or so. Seems that unwritten rule is under revision.

Glad to see that the Pens' regular season road woes didn't carry over into the playoffs.

Matt Murray has not lost a playoff series. I have no clue what's going on in that dude's head, but got damn, he was built for the SC playoffs

Some poor bastard has to pluck all of those pictures out of the urinals, too. Gross.

I'm sure they've cleaned up worse things...

Pretty sure nothing, and thats a good thing. He doesn't let anything get to him and does an unbelievable job at shaking off bad goals or games.

The amount of self-confidence that runs through Murray’s mind is unimaginable to most, if not all, of us. His belief in his ability to stop pucks is off the charts.

Is this something observable during play or is it just reflected in the box score?

Both. He makes key saves at key times in game, so that is observable during play. His numbers after a Pens’ loss are reflected in the box score.

Even the way he looks in the net shows his confidence. He never hangs his head. He never leans on his knees and stares down at the ice. He never shakes his head. He never glares at teammates. He looks like whatever just happened was exactly what he thought would happen.

It was apparent pretty much from the first time he tended an NHL net. Quiet confidence, but neither cockiness nor arrogance. Remarkable guy.

And a lad of only 23. We have led a charmed life as fans the last decade or so.

Having fans that go to immediate nostalgia-model helps too. Forgetting that he let five goals just three days ago because they won one day ago.

honestly **** yourself
