He brought trouble and pain to opposing team members and fresh beer to everyone else.

A 10th round pick that came into the league and couldn’t be pushed around. He hit like a Mack truck and that wasn’t with a lot of push behind it as Crankshaft was not fleet of foot. He was responsible for the front of the net and actually skated most with Dan Boyle.

Crankshaft

I always hated that nickname.

Uber Tap was a far superior nickname since it has a double meaning. First being his invention he and his buddies created while in college and second being what he was known for on the ice.
Douglas Murray Isn't A Great Fighter, But In College He Did Invent A Three-Spout Keg Tap

Same here. I'm glad to see it was just some diehard fan paying his respects

Especially given that we have excitement and plenty of things to discuss. This seems like a topic for 2 years ago.

 

[Grinner]

What I remember most, were his meet and greets at the blue line

My favorite Murray clip. The Boyle/Murray vs. Richardson/Clifford bout. Granted, Murray doesn't really throw much here.

Yeah, random thread scared me for a second

Tough as hell, loved his blood feud with Parros, wish he would still go down to the DoPS and tune him up to get him to stop being the worst of all time at doing the job

But my favorite Murray memory was when Setoguchi came back to play his first road game in the tank with Minnesota and Murray just crushed him into the boards on the first shift of the game, made sure to show him that it was all business

Glad I wasn't the only one who read this thread and went to look if he died. What the.

Setoguchi wasted has talents. It’s too bad.

That hurts me every time I see it. My God.

Was given to him by his roommates (can't remember who it was, Tom Pressing??? Teammates). My theory based on how it was (not) explained when the nickname came out in an interview was: if you use a little NSFW imagination, you can pretty easily come up with more than one source of inspiration. I have my guess.

 

[The Nemesis]

That time someone went to hit him and only ended up wrecking themselves while he didn't even budge. I wish I could remember who it was. I want to say it was against the Rangers?

Murray > Kronwall when it comes to hitting

Are you implying he didn't need a stick extension?

Kronwall was a concussion machine. For better or worse.

I recall that as well but can't remember who either.

You're welcome for my non contribution to the matter.

I was on the glass at this game on the other blue line. I remember this so vividly, like I got hit lolol

He did this to many peeps, byfuglien being one, Perry being another. Happened frequently

This one had him at the point in the offensive zone and with the puck. Whoever it was skated right at him full bore as he stood there cradling the puck and they just ran into him and bounced off

Hockey version of "I am rubber, you are glue. Everything you do (instead of say I guess) bounces of me and sticks to you""
