Even if the medical staff clears him, there's still the giant hurdle of the pre game warmup to clear....
Why? Time to move on from this dude. No use feeding him any starts when it's clear that Samsonov is the better goaltender and Woll has played very well in the few games he's gotten into this year.
That's a surprise. Didn't think he would play on the trip. Nice to have 3 guys now that all seem like legitimate options... as long as Murray can stay healthy.
This game should be a W. Be nice to be 3-1 on the trip going to Jersey next. Hopefully they don't look past it.

They always find ways to lose in Van city and they haven't won there for years.
With that said they won their last game in Buffalo, these guys are just too unpredictable.

Interesting to see. Now we have our goalies. Murray and Sammy. With Woll if somebody gits hurt. In the playoffs, some players even run over goalies. They are trying to bruise them up and taking em out. Glad we got schenn and mccabe now for that D-game. Also acciari lafferty and bunting finna defend our gezoalies.

Murray!
When Murray's on, he's really good and there's plenty of time left before the playoffs. Fantastic news!

There was a little Murray
And he had a little worry
Right in the middle of his hamstring.
When he was good
He was very, very good
But when he was bad he was stinking.

Glad to see Murray is back. I think we'll need him in top form if we were to go the distance.

Murray is excellent on the road but sucks at home. Samsonov is the opposite.
Samsonov: 17-2-1, .926% at home. 5-6-1, .899% away.
Murray: 4-1-1, .888% at home. 7-4-1, .921 away.

Lets use them in that way. Samsonov Home games Murray away games.
Technically it's clear that samsonov is the sturdier and healthier goalie. When he was playing Murray looked good and they were pretty even

What we do in hockey echoes in eternity...
That can be our strategy in the playoffs if he's healthy. Start Samsonov at home and Murray on the road.
Wow, did not expect to see Murray here.
I was hoping that we would see more of Woll to be honest.
It just feels like we should be giving Murray as much rest and time off as possible for the next 10 games or so, and get him back in the final 10 games to keep him sharp and game ready.
No question when he's healthy he runs with it, but keeping him healthy continues to be a challenge. I'm not confident that he makes it to the playoffs healthy to be honest. That's not a slight or jinxing him, it's just being honest.....

They have been saying for probably over 2 weeks Murray was likely ready by this weekend. He's been practicing for well over a week I believe.
I don't know why it's such a surprise Murray is now healthy when they said he would be.

You need to get him in games though. Waiting 10 more games doesn't make sense. In a ideal scenario, Murray and Samsanov play the rest of the way and when you have clinched home ice, then you play Woll.
We’re going to need a healthy Matt Murray if we’re going on a playoff run.
I don’t have any faith in him but we’re going to need him.

Ha that's terrible. I mean list career playoff wins for the other two guys, but not Murray ... meathead indeed seems like the appropriate word.
