This is about as methodical of a game as you can play, especially on the road on the first leg of a back to back...how many second chance opportunities have the Isles had today? 1? All of their shots have been pretty much garbage chances from distance, outside the dots, one and done, feckless wristers...lock down city...

He's certainly a better stick handler over Fleury.
Ehhhhhh
Yeah - I think far too many people take this "Fleury is the worst puck handler in the league" thing far too long.

We've seen the Penguins score some goals on goalie misplays, so it's not like it doesn't happen throughout the league. Fleury gets to a lot of pucks it seems, more than most goalies. I'm sure his defenseman really appreciate that, and as long as both he and the defense is on the same page - it's not really a problem and it really helps with step 1 of getting the puck back out of the zone which is important for this team.

Murray seems good at it - but I don't think NY has really tested him today where as I think some teams like the Flyers a few weeks ago really made it a point to test Fleury - it didn't go as well as they had hoped.

Playoff spot clinched. Do you ride Murray tomorrow or plug in Zatkoff?

Murray is young, hasn't played a lot and needs the extra work if Flower is out longer term. I think Sullivan goes with him and then Zatkoff vs Ottawa.

Can't ask for a better playoff clinching win than that.

That'd be what I would do as well.

Also, yay shutout!

I don't want the Pens to make things easy for Philly. Roll out Murray again.

Give Murray the rest of the regular season.

The Islanders need a new book on how to beat the Penguins. The old Flyers 2012 playbook just ain't getting it done anymore. Sully has these guys believing. It's great to see Penguins hockey again!!!!

Sullivan.
How can you not consider him for the Jack Adams? It's a two man race between he and Trotz at this point.
