from Jonathan Bombulie of Chipped Ice at the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review,

Murray got whacked by Alzner as he bobbled a puck. Malkin objected and engaged Alzner in a wrestling match, knocking off Murray’s helmet and catching him in the head with his stick in the process.

(Murray was fine after the game, by the way. Said he felt the concussion protocol was unnecessary. Sullivan said he left Fleury in because it “just made sense.” I concur. Murray had been through enough already.)...

“We played a team that was more competitive than us tonight and they were better than us tonight,” Sullivan said. “I don’t know how else to explain it. I’m a strong believer that your mindset going into games is critically important to your ability to have success. Our team, as a group tonight, we weren’t ready to play. We can search for solutions tactically, but sometimes this game is about will more than it’s about skill. It’s a competitive league. If you’re not ready to play, you’re going to get beat.”
