Uninjured guys as competitive as they come …hes proved it …just gotta stay healthy
if it's not the obvious lack of grit in their superstars, it'll be not fixing their goalie situation.
as a sens fan I'm still laughing at the leafs for taking him on
I am really sad how Murray has played this season and hurt can’t stay healthy this year again as pens fans I was hoping he would bounce back and have monster year win 45 to 50 games win best goalie of the year award If he is the starter in the playoffs this might be his last shot at nhl level makes me sad I thought after 2018 He would been goalie in the league for years and years to come be the face of goalies and win multiple v trophy’s I can’t spell the trophy name as well win one more or 2 cups be all at lots of all starts games his story is sad
Against Edmonton he wasn't good, Buffalo he didn't play bad… But to be fair, its hard to be really consistent without a run of starts to get into that groove
Samsonov starts every game in the playoffs unless injured. Murray is someone's constant project – always.
Hes not even NHL starter quality anymore……….
I think Murray has to earn it down the stretch. Samsonov has earned it as of today but if he struggles down the stretch then you can consider putting Murray in if he happens to be playing better.
Matt worry , can't be a 3rd goalie straight trash
Zero chance
Same story line with these fools
Matt Murray is an old fashioned battler. Not so sure the Ottawa Senators are the best organization for goalies to thrive in the past decade or so. He is playing better in Toronto than in Ottawa, but, should he be the starter for #1? I think it's a toss up between him and Samsonov. I think the Leafs, no matter who starts game 1, should go with a "if you win, you're in" rotation.
The fact that Keefe/Dubas partnership has yielded only losing in the playoffs, doesn’t fill any Leafs fan with any real confidence. TB has by far the way better playoff goalie. Another 1st round exit.
I just cannot believe that anyone could think that taking on Matt Murray at a cap hit of almost $5M was a good idea. He is living up to expectations… he is a marginal goalie in this league: and has been for some time. Often injured and when he plays he has some good games, some very weak but overall not a reliable goalie for a team that would like to win a Cup.
If you want to start 0-1
Sheldon Keefe will be as dumb as a doorknob to start Murray other than if:
– Samsonov craps the bed or
– (more likely) the Leafs play games on consecutive days Eastern Time
Samsonov or Murray?? …. Leafs are in big big big trouble!! Zero Defense… Zero Goaltending and 2 lines out of 4 along with terrible coaching Maple Leafs will be Golfing 2 weeks after the start of the Playoffs!! Go Hurricanes!!
Murray will be the starter in Game 1.
At this point in time, I'm more confident with Sammy.
A joke question? Same if Samsonov were the subject. Another joke question is: is 44 really a defenceman. Can we use number 3 on the ok? Why don’t we pair 44 with 3, a massive death wish.
Every single word was right in this interview.
Murray would be m 3rd of the eafs options for game 1
none zero nada.
