pi2000 Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 In 2009... Bylsma stepped in from WBS to coach the Pens to the Cup, right? Did they have key production from AHL call-ups or from trade acquisitions that year? Their roster: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Stanley_Cup_Finals#Pittsburgh_Penguins_2 12 of the 26 players on their 2009 Cup roster were acquired in either 2008 (8) or 2009 (4). James Mirtle @mirtle Sharks players that haven't scored in the final: Pavelski, Couture, Thornton, Burns. Those four had 42% of San Jose's goals during season. Series ain't over yet.

Thorny Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 12 of the 26 players on their 2009 Cup roster were acquired in either 2008 (8) or 2009 (4). Series ain't over yet. I'd have to look at the players, but that could potentially be considered within the realm of regular turnover, of mainly supporting pieces, given that amounts to 46% over two seasons. An avg of 23% turnover each offseason. Not an insane amount of turnover. The key pieces in that run from what I can remember (Crosby, Malkin, Letang, Fleury, Staal) had all been there for a few years. Guerin and Fedotenko were reasonably important adds, as they finished 3rd and 4th in playoff team scoring. The rub is that they had 15, and 14 points respectively. Malkin had 36. Crosby had 31. They absolutely carried that team. For reference, an add this year leads them in points, Kessel. The highest scorer this year, Couture, has 26 (the series isn't over, but he's well behind). Both Malkin and Sid had more. Kane led last year with 23. Crosby and Malkin won them that first cup, with some help from the supporting cast. This year, it's just a team effort with multiple contributors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted June 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 The City of Pittsburgh has done so much stupid , including but not limited to naming a street after Matt Murray, that I think it may have jinxed the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorny Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Despite SJs 3 goals, this series still appears to be a mismatch. The difference here is Murray. He looks real bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorny Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 (edited) Good period for San Jose. Get outshot 15-7, achieving a nice 43% shooting percentage. The series isn't over if Murray was traded to the teal side between games 4 and 5. (There was 3 days in between games, plenty of time. Lots of time for him to be traded back as well, another 3 days between each of the next two as well) In seriousness, It'll be interesting to see if he can deal with the pressure.
