Yep.

Mike

10:30

Back to Jarry next game. No matter if they win or lose this one.

Adam Bittner

10:31

I'll be surprised. If Sullivan was gonna make that move, feels like he would have by now. This game is kinda important, too. But I could be wrong.

10:35

Penguins haven't gotten anything going for quite a while.

MTL appears to be in full closeout mode.

10:37

Jack Johnson is the No. 3 trend in the United States right now on Twitter dot com.

you cannot give up 3 unanswered goals to anyone in the playoffs

Steve S

This game is over. Series in real trouble. Last goal was a classic give up by Murray. He’s 6’4” and makes himself 5’10” all the time in that post and everybody k owe it.

10:39

Looks like this squad has tuned out the head coach.

Adam Bittner

10:40

I don't know about that, JT, but this was not Game 1, where you could blame luck. They were outplayed in the last period and a half tonight.

Steve S

10:40

Schultz has had a game to forget

Adam Bittner

10:41

Lot of questions about him, which is not what he wants in a contract year.

chris

10:42

Yes Adam -- you are 100% correct about being outplayed the last period and a half

Adam Bittner

10:42

Here comes a power play gang. Might be the game.

Really, gonna be a man advantage to the end here. Just a question of when Murray is pulled.

10:45

40 seconds of 6-on-4 it appears. Remember how those 5-on-3s have gone in this series.

10:46

Just kidding.

Now Murray's out. Here we go.

10:50

That's it. Pens can't salvage a decent chance in the final minute and they trail the series 2-1. Tough one to swallow, but hard to argue they don't deserve what happened tonight.

10:52

Anyone want to vent?

                        Just gonna say it. Need to address third line lineup & third D-pairing.

The mayor does

Dave

10:52

Again. Lack of effort. We’ve seen it all too many times before

Steve S

10:53

This series is over. Pens couldn’t figure out how to

Jeff

10:54

Montreal looks like they want it more.

Rick from Orlando

10:55

Not to overreact with complaining about Murray but a lot of goals should’ve been saved. That last goal was ridiculous you have to guard that post and stand tall. Jarry needs to get to start next game. Do or die. Nothing to lose.

Post-Gazette sports

10:56

Pretty bad situation for Jarry, though, if that happens in Game 4. NO room for error.

BUT maybe no one will blame him if it doesn't go well?

Rick from Orlando

10:56

Couple of those goals were Murray’s fault. Especially the last goal when he should’ve stood tall and guarded that post. Not to overreact but I think we should start Jarry in game 4.

Dave

10:57

Where’s Malkin in this series?

Post-Gazette sports

10:58

Here's what Mike DeFabo wrote yesterday re: Malkin. Obviously not much of a change tonight:

Adam Bittner

10:57

I don't think it's an overreaction to suggest it. I'm just not getting the read that Sullivan is going to hang the whole season on the guy. If he was going to do that, I think Jarry plays the final 13 minutes of a game that's really just as important as the one you'd be starting Jarry in

Rick from Orlando

11:00

Schultz looked horrible tonight. Malkin looks snake bitten and frustrated. You can’t blow a 3-1 lead and be lazy on D. ( Schultz ) Not a lot of options to replace him though.

Adam Bittner

11:01

Right. I don't think the Penguins can swap their way out of this hole. They need the guys who've won two Cups to find their games.

11:02

Sid: "We might have been guilty of getting a little too loose there" with a 3-1 lead. #Pens

Rick from Orlando

11:03

What other changes can we make that would not be an overreaction? I still say Hornqvist needs to be on the first line and raise some hell with Crosby in front of the net.

Adam Bittner

11:04

I'm more curious what you do on defense. This team functionally has one scoring line. Three goals should be enough to beat them.

Vance

11:04

Well elimination games are fun at least

Adam Bittner

11:04

Fun is certainly a word.

Vance

11:05

Who wouldn’t want their season to be decided at *checks notes* 4 pm on a Friday?
