Surprisingly I didn't see any. A lot of Johnson, Cullen, Maatta, etc. suck and need traded tweets though.I haven't been following the Pens social media posts that closely, but I am sure the "SHOULD HAVE KEPT FLURRY" posts are at an all-time high now.

Hot take: Murray is bad
Head and shoulders forward for puck tracking...lack of glove depth, doesn't want to pucks to go through him, so his fingers and elbow are in such a way to get into the butterfly first, catch pucks second...

The first Point goal is exhibit A for that. Murray isn't out far enough to cut off the shooting angle, and he's hunched over like he's wearing a sack of bricks, which leaves the entire high glove corner wide open.
Come to think of it, I feel like Murray has been playing too far back in his net recently. He was way more aggressive during the cup runs but for some reason doesn't seem to even be coming close to the top of his crease to challenge shots.
Maybe it's just me, but perhaps a lack of confidence > challenging fewer shots at the top of his crease + hunched style > giving up a ton of crap goals.

Murray is deeper right now because he’s having trouble reading shots so he wants the extra time to pick it up. Lundqvist does this.

I wouldn't be confident either if I had Jack Johnson anywhere near me...

Murray pay cut next contract.

I do not think that Murray is bad. He's in a slump right now, and has suffered a variety of injuries that may be cutting into his effectiveness. The whole team is experiencing a crisis of confidence. He will be fine.
Patrick Roy was pretty much garbage for most of the regular season in 1992-1993. It was his worst statistical season, with a save percentage well under .900 and a win percentage that was worse than the backup goalie that year. Roy then went 16-4 and was lights out during their Cup run, and never had a bad statistical season after that.
I do not think for one second that Murray is comparable to Roy, despite the ridiculous amount of early success Murray has had. I don't think he's Jim Carey, either. When teams are getting odd man rushes, extended 5 on 3's, and point-blank opportunities every night, a slumping goaltender is going to look exactly how Murray looks right now. If this team had any kind of structure or puck management, perhaps he could find his rhythm.

Shad says we can't lose. Now all we need is mikey to tell us by how many goals we'll win.

Someone on Twitter mentioned something I've been thinking about for a while. Perhaps it's time for Murray to see a sports psychologist.
He was struggling a bit early last season, and things only got worse with the unexpected passing of his father. In addition to Bales being gone, maybe he needs to talk to someone about his dad's passing and other things.

I fully expect them to be outplayed, outworked, and outscored against the mighty Sabres tonight. But maybe they'll surprise us with another spirited 3rd period to keep the result respectable.
