Yeah, probably go to Jarry and hope Murray is OK. Jarry has been better when he's gotten to play a stretch of games. Almost a little Fleury-like.

Any concern with Sids left wing? Been underwhelming lately. Are they confident with their #1 line?
Sean Gentille
2:23
Jarome Iginla didn't work out mainly because he played out of position and had Brandon Sutter as his center. Simple enough.
Sam Werner
2:23
They're definitely still looking for a fit there. But I think the solution is probably going to end up being internal (Guentzel was there today, maybe Sheary goes back there) rather than external.

Stat | Cole | Hunwick
CF% | 49.33 | 50.91
CF/60 | 53.95 | 60.07
CA/60 | 55.41 | 57.91
SCF% | 49.06 | 50.11
SCF/60 | 27.71 | 28.51
SCA/60 | 28.77 | 28.39
HDCF% | 40.44 | 45.79
HDCF/60 | 9.81 | 11.03
HDCA/60 | 14.45 | 13.05
PDO | 1.018 | 0.981

This is since November 18th, when Hunwick returned from his concussion. Why do you continue to say Hunwick hasn't been good when he's outplayed Cole, someone who was held in such esteem?
Sean Gentille
2:24
Imagine going from "hey, HHOF right winger, you're going to play with Sidney Crosby" to "hey, HHOF right winger, you're going to switch to your left and play with Brandon Sutter." Still such a waste.
Jason Mackey
2:25
Not being critical, Steven, but I'd be surprised if 5 percent of people actively following the Penguins would agree that Hunwick has been better than Cole.

How about just taking a brief moment to appreciate our beat writer, GM, Owner, coach, players, equipment staff and everything else surrounding the Pens.  I am pretty sure there are no shortage of fanbases who would want to trade spot. Kudos to everyone.
Jason Mackey
2:25
How did beat writer end up ahead of GM, owner, coach, players and equipment staff?
Matt
2:25
Is Casey DeSmith coming up from WBS with Murray injury
Jason Mackey
2:25
They have not announced anything yet.
Stew
2:25
Hey hello is Hunwick that bad in general or just a bad game?
Jason Mackey
2:26
It was an especially bad game, but he hasn't been great this season. I will give him a bit of a pass, though; he has been better when playing on the left side.
James
2:26
How untouchable is Sprong at this point?
Jason Mackey
2:26
I wouldn't say untouchable. They'd listen. It would just have to be good.

Rangers wanted a 1st Rd. pick for McDonagh....Pens don't have one
Jason Mackey
2:26
The Penguins also aren't interested. Could be any number of reasons.
Guest
2:26
wheeewww boy, Ryan McDonagh in PIT. In the words of the late great Albert Einstein "Now thatsa spicy meatball!"
Evin
2:26
Boston or Tampa, who's the bigger threat now?
Sean Gentille
2:26
Still Tampa, IMO. So much depth.
Jason Mackey
2:26
Penguins are not interested, I'm told.
Nick
2:27
what do you think about bringing in vanek to play with 87?
Jason Mackey
2:27
Don't like it at all. They have the pieces to make it happen. Just need to pick something and stick with it.
Kyle Canuck
2:27
If Murray is out long term I can’t see Jarry holding down the fort. But who’s out there goaltender wise? Slim pickings.
Jason Mackey
2:27
It's not pretty. Maybe Lehner from Buffalo? I'd honestly roll the dice with Jarry.
Josh
2:27
Whats up with Evander Kane? Shocked he hasn't been moved yet? Character issues?
Jason Mackey
2:27
That was a concern for a lot of teams. He went to San Jose for a first, a prospect and a conditional fourth.
DM
2:27
Is there a game-day skate tomorrow?
JP
2:27
Names?
Sam Werner
2:27
Jeff, Frank, Bill, Gretchen, Dwight, Susan.
Jason Mackey
2:27
Yes, there is.
Bryan
2:28
If he is able to get Ryan McDonaugh, how many hours will it take to erect a GMJR statue?
Jason Mackey
2:28
There should be one anyway, but they're not going after McDonagh. False reporting on Kypreos' part.
Adam
2:28
In a utopian world, does Hunwick and Sheary get McDonough?
Derrick
2:28
Would love to see Jack Johnson in black and gold but I don't see how that happens.
Jason Mackey
2:28
ALL OF OUR BAD PLAYERS FOR ALL OF THEIR GOOD PLAYERS!!!
John
2:28
Hopefully not a concussion.
Sean Gentille
2:28
People think they want Jack Johnson, and then they actually watch Jack Johnson.
Jason Mackey
2:29
Hopefully not.
