When Evgeni Malkin speaks in Pittsburgh, people listen. After Sunday's game where goaltender Matt Murray was jeered, Malkin didn't hold back on his feelings on the matter.
It was stupid. I'm not understanding our fans. Murray won two Cups for us. You boo him - why? If you come to the arena, support our team. All of us. We try. We play so hard this year. We work so hard through injuries. We play good hockey. I understand you pay money for ticket, you do what you want. But it's tough to sit on bench and hear that. I don't like it. We hear that in Philly, not Pittsburgh.
Murray, 25 has struggled this year, meanwhile. Tristan Jarry has carried the load and played amazing. Murray's name continues to be mentioned in trade talks, however, when you see how much his teammates love him, it would be hard for the Pens to move on. For the fans, doesn't seem like they would mind.
