He's fine. Was likely a shot in a sensitive place.

Do you feel Malkin and Kessel will stay together moving forward, especially based on 17 19 43 seeming to click.
Jason Mackey
2:51
Until Patric Hornqvist gets back, yes. Beyond that, I think we'll have more time to evaluate. But if they play the way they did last night, Sullivan wouldn't be against it, I can tell you that.

Any insights on the Hornqvist injury? Timeline?
Jason Mackey
2:52
Day-to-day, upper-body, out Friday. It's the playoffs. Timelines for injuries are already on the golf course.

Why does pens4life get every question answered. When he’s asking the worst on s
Jason Mackey
2:52
No need to criticize. I answer every question asked, in the order it was received.

Do they Pens have a preference for their next opponent?
Jason Mackey
2:52
Only that they have one.

Is Murray ok
Jason Mackey
2:52
Yep. He's fine. False alarm.

You think players follow the other series and have a rooting interest in who wins?  either personal or based on who they'd rather (or rather not) face?
Jason Mackey
2:53
Yeah, I think they do. They are human. But I understand why they might not want to say something publicly. The majority of these guys watch others games.
Sidthegoat
2:53
Matt Murray reassure me he’s ok
Jason Mackey
2:53
He's fine.

Do you see Jacques Martin as a candidate for one of the Head Coaching vacancies in the league?
Jason Mackey
2:55
I think Jacques would make a terrific head coach, but I don't think he's a candidate for the Flames job. I could see them hiring Sutter. Dallas ... I'm not sure if he's a great fit for that team, in that market.

Do you think Malkin and Kessel will stay together moving forward, seeing how 17 19 43 seemed to click well.
Jason Mackey
2:56
I think they'll wait and see. Sully isn't against it. I think they'll be together until Hornqvist gets back, anyway. Let's evaluate over the next game or so and go from there.

Hey, the chat started.    Thanks Jason!
Jason Mackey
2:56
Hi Tim. Sorry for the delay. Had to worry about actual writing first.

Why are playoff practices closed to the public?
Jason Mackey
2:57
It could be because of secrecy. It could also be because they want players to be able to focus in a quiet environment.

Matt Murray
Jason Mackey
2:57
He's fine.
Sidthegoat

Is Matthew murray ok?????
Jason Mackey
2:57
Yes, all good.

I am really impressed by Riley Sheahan!  You?
Jason Mackey
2:57
Same. I think Sheahan has gotten better and better. I wrote in my 20 Thoughts this week that I think he's someone they might try to keep around longer-term. He's seemingly found a really good fit in Pittsburgh.

We’ll beat either one doesn’t matter doley
Jason Mackey

Who's your pick in the upcoming Vegas - San Jose series?    Pretty unusual for two teams to meet up after both having 4 game sweeps?   Remember Pittsburgh - Chicago did in 1992, but it's rare?
Jason Mackey
2:58
Yes. Very rare. I like Vegas, honestly. Although the Grateful Dead fan in me is definitely hoping for a Penguins-Sharks final, so I can get to San Francisco a time or two.
Sidthegoat
2:59
Yo why won’t you answer my matt Murray questions
Jason Mackey
2:59
Yo I just did.
Diana

When does the Crosby vs Mario column come out? Epic Yinzer argument
Jason Mackey
2:59
Believe Joe Starkey is writing on that as we speak.

Why are Pens such a bad matchup for the Flyers?
Jason Mackey
2:59
Because they're much better than them. And deeper. ... This isn't mean to rip on Philly. And I said it at the beginning of the series, but I don't think the Flyers are that good. Maybe in a year or so, but the Penguins are way deeper.

How about those Avs?
