I’m going to come off private with this take because I feel like more people need to hear it. But so many gripes people have with this season are perfectly explainable. (Thread)

If you’re a head coach or you’re a GM, and you’re seeing these things, going to bat as hard as you can for your players is *the right thing* to do. It lets your players know you care about them, and in the NHL, we don’t have enough of that.

It’s clear to me that, while the bar is in hell, Pittsburgh has one of the better locker room cultures, and Muse and Dubas have to play as big of a part in that as Crosby, Malkin and Letang, especially as the big three retire within the coming years. END THREAD

Love our goalies? You’re in luck! Come find me tomorrow at open practice for a free button!

AND ANOTHER THING about Murashov: Arty was playing exactly like this last year. Yes, often letting up 6-7 goals per game, usually when I was there. Do you know what made him a better goalie? PRACTICE. Not just in Cranberry but in games.

@TaylorHaasePGH this is not directed at you at all; I just thought your article would be good to quote to make this point.

i really dont think mush is the problem yall. if it comes down to “which of our two goalies can read our shitty defense better in hopes of making a hail mary save at the last second” then i think we know what the issue is
