WHAT!?!
Oh wow, since when has Murray posted a .931 in the A? Last I checked it looked like he was having a tough time down there.

I can see it. He's got a lot of NHL experience. Hildeby needs a little more adjustment.
He has been better in the AHL than Hildeby this year. He probably would have gotten the call up originally but was hurt just before Stolarz got hurt

Our collection of injury prone goaltenders is complete
It's pretty unsettling. Hopefuly Woll's health continues to improve but every time there's a crowd in front of the net I get nervous

Give him credit. Thought it was over for him, but he’s battled back and earned it. Hope he plays well. If he gives us a run of games with Stolarz out that would be terrific. Allows Hildeby to develop in the AHL.

At this point it makes sense to go with the experienced Murray but honestly, I trust him a smidge more than Hildeby.

I think this might be a bit dramatic. He's a back-up playing against the worst team in the league right now. That's usually what back-ups do.

What we do in hockey echoes in eternity...
I'm rooting for him. If he can do what Martin Jones did for us last season that would be a huge win.

Makes sense. Was weird that people here were arguing against this.
Really rooting for Murray. Most people would have hung up the skates after his surgery but he’s battled back. What a story it would be if he were able to get back to being an NHL regular whether it’s here or somewhere else.
If he plays well, he won't make it through waives once Stolarz returns. But on the bright side, it just means they can flip him for picks since he will have shown he is NHL ready.

He will not require waivers unless he plays ten games or is on the NHL roster for 30 days.

How can you not be excited about this? Even just starting an NHL game again is a success story. Good for Murray! Over a year and a half since his last NHL game. It's awesome to see he made it back!

I’m onboard for playing Matt… you never know, we just may need him in some important games.

The human element of it all gets lost sometimes and this is a great story in that regard.

I wouldn't have guessed that we'd have arrived at this point so soon. At one point, I might've not anticipated this happening at all. Welcome back to the bigs, Matt! I'll be pulling for you.
