Bryan Murray met with the media Thursday afternoon, says the only time he talks to us now is when he has bad news to deliver.
Kuba, Kovalev, now Milan Michalek.
Michalek was better at the start of the season, probably healthier then. He blew out his knee in Game 1, needs surgery and he's done.
Nick Foligno has had a tough year and gets a chance to step up. If he plays up to his potential, the Senators should be fine. If not, the team loses a dimension.
The Penguins' seem perplexed about Game 1.
Senators' goaltender Brian Elliott was shaky out of the gate, and all the Pens could manage was just four first-period shots.
As a few of the players said, it wasn't like they weren't trying. The Senators defence is that good.
