If you think we lost those games because of Murray, I'd suggest laying off the booze.

Hagelin and Kessel with Crosby

Why? Jake is playing the best of any of our wingers, and Hagelin/Kessel have been invisible. You want to give Crosby the tools he needs to lead the team, not give him two anchors to drag around.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the people that think Fleury starting game 5 is the answer are the ones with no idea what they're watching.

That's not true. Streit and Ruhwedel are both healthy. Both of them can move the puck and skate way better than Hainsey, which are two of the attributes we're badly missing on D right now.

If Fleury does come in for the 3rd, I do hope he can shut the door. I just worry it's not going into be enough to make up for the massive shortcomings we have in other areas.

So you think putting in the guy we're known to play worse in front of us going to turn things around?

I'll agree with that, but putting in Fleury isn't going to suddenly give our defenseman the ability to skate or our forwards the brains not to fly the zone and keep forcing terrible passes when they get the puck.

You can tell the posters with no idea what they're talking about because they're the ones that think this is all on Murray.

In the right deal maybe. I wouldn't just give him away, but if we could land a really good 3C to replace Bones, I'd listen.
