Any chance murray plays both games in the back to back this weekend?
Jason Mackey's Penguins chat transcript: 02.28.19
Some stuff that I recall from Mackey's chat (full transcript above):
- The Pens really, really like McCann. He was likely the centerpiece of the Florida trade.
- He's unsure of who will be the 3C going forward between Bjugstad and McCann.
- The Pens absolutely have to move a defenseman out this summer. And who that is comes down to Maatta's health and how everyone else performs. As in, JR doesn't already have an "out" for Gudbranson.
- He thinks Riikola-Schultz made a good pairing.
- Not sure why he'd admit this in the city of Pittsburgh, but he doesn't care if the Penguins win.
- He heard that the Pens tried to get Hagelin back and then alluded to other teams not knowing about that salary retention rule.
How would you guys handle the goalies for tomorrow and Saturday?
Send Murray out for the much more important Canadians matchup? Or go for the win tomorrow night and then whatever happens Saturday happens?
Still have faith in DeSmith against either team. That’s why I’d lean towards saving Murray for Saturday at Montreal and let Casey start tomorrow at Buffalo.
I would also start Murray against MTL but that’s not what Sully usually does...he usually plays MM on the first night of the b2b, I think so he doesn’t have a tired team in front of him...
No surprise really. Hopefully the players who are here accord themselves well and throughout the next few games we build some quality depth on the back end. You never want injuries, but this could work to our advantage IF our top guys come back relatively soon. In the mean time some of guys who haven't been used all that much get more ice time and maybe gain a bit of confidence.Letang and Dumo do not appear to be playing this weekend...they haven’t skated

I think it's a journalist thing. Rossi would say the same shit all the time (although in a much more pretentious way). "I'm a journalist, not a fan", etc. etc. If he's not from around here then it makes sense... if the only job I could get as a journlist was as the Patriots beat reporter, that's not gonna mean I care if they win or not. But still. Don't even mention that. Just do your job.To be fair, I couldn't care less if the Pirates relocate either or if the Stillers are shot into the sun, so I sympathize with not really rooting for a team that you're supposed to love just because it's a Pittsburgh thang.
That said, Mackey sucks.
But didn't Cell beat Goku and Vegeta?Geno is Vegeta, Ovechkin is Cell.

If anything, Ovechkin is Frieza.
