Joe Starkey: Solving goalie question is Penguins' top mission — and John Gibson could be the answer

PITTSBURGH — The Penguins have come to a crossroads with goaltender Tristan Jarry. He can be an unrestricted free agent in July. I'm inclined to move on and pursue Anaheim Ducks goalie John Gibson, a Pittsburgh native, even if it means trading Jake Guentzel or Bryan Rust.

Ron Cook: Good and bad sides of Evgeni Malkin on full display against Flyers

Ron Cook: Flyers' ineptitude doesn't diminish pleasure in watching Sidney Crosby dominate them

It doesn't matter that the Philadelphia Flyers are one horrendous hockey club. That they will miss the playoffs for the third consecutive year. That they have just one postseason series win in the past 10 years. That they haven't won a Stanley Cup in 17,455 days.
