Which goalies are on the ice?

That would make it a huge win. If I was Dubas, and I could move him now for nothing let alone what you say, I'd have done it yesterday, resigned Sammy. and anointed him the clear #1.
A top tier team is obviously not going to move one of their two goalies performing well in the middle of the year for no reason, much less for nothing. That's an offseason move, if anything.
 
When we were young we came up with an idea similar to the one on the top. Thought was rinks could rent them out for people who are missing a goalie when renting the ice.
Our idea was that no matter what angle you were at the goalie was positioned correctly.
We even had a name, The Rubber Gumper after Gump Worsley. Lol
 
He did play against the Pens this season and had a great night, so it's probably just a coincidence that he's missed both games against Ottawa rather than a fear of playing a former team. Still, he's clearly made of glass and can't be counted on at all. There's a reason the Leafs were paid assets to take him
A coincidence with two game day injuries in two consecutive starts against his former team???? The probability of that is about 1,000,000 to 1.

Overlooking that you just pulled those numbers out of your ass, it's not that hard to believe that a guy made out of glass is injured at inopportune times. If it was such a problem, why did he play against Pittsburgh this year?

I liked the samsonov signing, high pedigree athletic goalie on a 1 yr 1.8 mil caphit..understand it. I have no clue what glue dubie dubes was sniffing when he made that Murray trade, but screwing that up by acquiring an unreliable injury prone goalie like Murray at a 4.7 mil caphit no less puts a lot of pressure on samsonov. You made your bed dubas, time to lay in it
Murray's injuries are in his head.
Not a good situation, totally unrealiable.
Would sign Sammy in the summer and trade Murray for peanuts.
Next three weeks are a good time to shut Murray down and get some games for Woll.
If Woll does well then ltir Murray.
Let's hope Woll makes it tough on then.
 
Murray hasn't been playing that well lately and Woll has been extremely good for the Marlies

I wouldn't be shocked if this was one of those "reset" injury breaks so Murray can sort himself out and clear up any nagging injury problems like his ankle while we aren't playing a ton of games

I hope they don't overuse Samsonov, Woll deserves a chance and I don't think we are in a position to have to ride our starter yet

Last season all over again.

If Murray doesn't get his shit together no other team will ever take a chance on him
1.5 hhalf years to get it right or DONE.
 
Shut Murray down for the next couple of weeks. With the all star break and the easy schedule coming out of it, you have lots of time for him to rest and heal the injury

A Samsonov/Woll tandem should be more than fine against the likes of CBJ/Chicago/Montreal

Trade Murray to another team as a dump and move on. Experiment is over.

I don't think that will happen till the offseason. They'll likely want to give Samsonov more time and see if he can handle being the main guy with Woll as #2 next year

Maybe start mixing Woll into the rotation. I was always expecting another 5-7 Woll/Kallgren games anyway.

Just mutually agree to LTIR him and move on if things don't work out.
 
no one should be shocked with Murray and his injuries. Samsonov has been the better goalie. Hope to see Woll gets some games and hopefully plays well in them. I think Dubas’ plan next season Woll is the back up. The starter he would figure out in the off season.
