This piece started as a comment to my previous post. However, the more I began to write, the more it morphed into a full-blown article.
As our faithful PenguinPoop readers are aware, I’ve been very critical of Penguins goaltender Matt Murray this season. I’ve documented on numerous occasions his disturbing penchant for yielding back-breaking goals at critical times. To my eye, he’s appeared slow and tentative…perhaps even a bit timid in goal.
Well, if I’m going to be hyper-critical, I also need to give him his due.
I thought No. 30 looked like a different goalie Friday night during the Pens’ 2-1 victory over Detroit.
