Matt Murray's slender frame has spent the last two months seemingly impervious to the increasingly massive weight on his shoulders. Skating onto the ice at Consol Energy Center with a chance to help the Pittsburgh Penguins raise the franchise's fourth Stanley Cup, the enormity of the moment - however briefly - may have gotten the best of the 22-year-old rookie. Murray used phrases like ''a little bit jittery'' and ''a little bit nervous'' to describe the opening minutes of Pittsburgh's 4-2 loss to San Jose in Game 5, a stretch when he allowed three goals on five shots as the Sharks earned a return trip to the West Coast for Game 6 on Sunday night thanks to 44 saves from goaltender Martin Jones.
