In this video, I go over the Toronto Maple Leafs’ goaltending situation now and next season after Matt Murray was forced to leave Sunday’s game with an injury. I use advanced stats, contextual information and salary cap analysis to break it all done

Murray is jinxed lol
just trade him not worth the money
They will buy out Murray this summer
I'd still waive Murray if claimed you lose the contract if not ltir regarding concussion
Joe WoÄŗl is the better Goalie anyway !
Mike.
Thing with Woll, right now, he must feel super confident. He's having a fantastic season in the ahl and when he got the chance in the nhl, he looked great.
The Leafs might want to start rebuilding this core. Getting Matthews to sign a long term contract or trading Matters to get something before he walks – probably is the priority. Leaf GM gambled on Murrayās injury history – just maybe perhaps they havenāt lost yet.
and the Murray saga continues , right now he's still a leaf and they need him to be ready whenever called upon so enough about next season just gotta focus on the here and now
Rumour has it a small breeze from a fan was directed towards Murray while they were examining him. Ugh, caused a full on concussion and broken fibula.
In a way it's good because they can't pull any mind games about starting Murray. It's Samy's net as it should be
Matt Murray is Day-To-Day with a āHeadā injury
Hurt again I realize this time it was out of his control but it just fiqures when are the excuses going to stop go with Samsonoff and Woll let me guess Mathews or Tavaris are next so the the excuses will begin again out in round one again
Love your analysis mate and the numbers. Murray makes absolute zero sense financially if nothing else and for the return the Leafs get even when he's healthy. Not ideal to jump in with Woll as #2 but the Leafs now just have to take a risk and see if Woll puts up a Murray like performance when he was a rookie with the Pens.
Woll unless Samsonov gets hurt will not see a playoff game. Which is kinda frustrating as Sammy's great but sometimes he just sucks. Will Keefe have enough confidence in Woll to put him in a Playoff game?
I am confident with Samsonov and a healthy Matt Murray if needed for this years playoffs based on Murrayās playoff experience. Next year it is pretty clear samsonov should be resigned and Woll is our number 2 with that cap hitā¦ hope a team is willing to take on Murray like Mrazek
Leafs have 3 goalies going into the playoffs and I would put Murray at #3. Leafs need to focus on the playoffs and tweaking their games. If the Leafs can get nylander and holl to show up and play 60 minutes a game, we will do okay. Hey Willy, we haven't seen you in the last 10 games, any chance of a brief appearance in the playoffs?
This was an absolutely dumb ass trade. He has trended down for the last number of years. He looked good for a period of time earlier in the season, who knows how he woulda faved if not for the injuries. NHL version of Mr. Glass!
I've been saying since the all star break, buy out his contract, sever ties and give Joe Woll the opportunity. I don't understand?? He's done nothing but have success at every level they've tried him in. Forget Murray!
More then comfortable having Sammy in net. Heās proven over and over again he is the guy. Iām just worried he wonāt be able to carry the weight on his shoulders. New team. We can never get past the first round. Really rude and loyal fan base (sorry guys itās true lol, Iām rude too tho) but Iām excited and nervous to see this breakdown inna few weeks
Matt Murray went down, and it was obviously not his fault, but at the same time its a good thing it wasn't Samsanov in net because he too would have been injured just before the playoffs.
If Woll can steal at least 1 game for the Leafs, they will do just fine in the playoffs. So far in the past few years no Goaltender stole them a game or 2. Non of them did so far.
the impact runs through out the whole team…Thats total honour in my books..
With or without him, out first round. No difference.
Murray has pretty much been a non factor all season. Next year …. buyout Murray, sign Samsonov and Wioll at league minimum ….
Nice! Can you do a video on the Fanatics jersey deal? Would be great to have your opinion since I know you are a collector. Thanks
Rosey said the hit on the ice was nothing.
I'm sure if any other goalie got taken out like Mat Mury did that goalie would be injured as well especially when back of his head hit the ice pretty hard I feel bad for him
I like Woll-Mart! I hope he relaxez and slows down a little as he is fumbling on his skates in net. He has so much potential!
Dubas made 2 gambles while moving on from Campbell, which in retrospect was the right move. One gamble appears to have paid off & the other has not. To lose Murray on a buy-out with only one year left on his deal is just money at worst, or they can Robidas island him as chronically injured vis-Ć -vis Scott Stevens, Paul Kariya (courtesy of Stevens ironically) & others with chronic concussion issues. That blow to his head, while being partially protected by the back of the goalie mask, did not seem particularly violent. However, once you've had multiple concussions, it does not take a heavy blow to cause another, so maybe it's time to see a neurologist, confirm the danger of risking any further hits & hang them up for good. LTIR baby. An unlucky play with Raymond blowing a wheel, but maybe it's better than a slapshot to the mask in the playoffs producing a worse result at a critical moment.
