I think at this point he almost has to. With the way the Pens go through coaches the might be shown the door if Fleury starts Game 6 and loses. Better off turning back to Murray and letting it ride with the goalie that got you to where you're at
Zero reason why Allen should still be in this game. He's been much worse than Elliott ever was in this series. Blues don't deserve this win. No balls from Hitchcock , no pun intended.
It was pure panic to change the goalie down 2-1. Just dumb. I wonder had they been playing the Ducks or Kings would he have switched goalies down 2-1?
I can kinda understand giving Elliott a game off just to regroup. But the only way I would've stuck with Allen for tonight was if he played great last game , which IMO he didnt. IDK if the Blues win tonight with Elliott in goal , Sharks were def on their game , but now its obvious they will go back to Elliott for Game 6 , and that just puts everyone in a tough position.
Big win for the Sharks last night. Massive. Pens need to show up tonight, not convinced the change to Fleury was the right decision. They seemed to wake up in the third period though so we'll see if that carries on. Tampa just keep finding a way though.
Well the Pens don't like to make it easy. Now for the most stressful thing in sports, a hockey game 7. Hopefully the other series goes 7 as well.
Tampa was flat for 40 minutes. Can't win like that. Played a solid 3rd, but too little too late. Game 7 in Pittsburgh. Edge: Penguins. Bolts are capable though. I hope they find a way. As @highflyer said: I hope the Blues force a Game 7 too. Won't be easy in The Shark Tank.
For sure, Pens do not have a very good home advantage at all. Getting more and more nervous now. Happy for the Sharks, if the Pens can't win I hope they win it all, they're my favourite Western team.
