Matt Murray has done the impossible and escaped Robidas Island. Will play first NHL game since 2023.

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

If he could stay healthy I’d take him over the pile of garbage we have in net now….

 

[3074326]

Want nothing but the best for this dude. He has been part of multiple core memories as a sports fan.

 

[JianYang]

The most amazing escape since Michael Scofield got out of prison.

 

[Fantomas]

He and Matthew Murray both have a .930 save percentage in the AHL.

 

[Primary Assist]

Murray gets a C+ from me tonight. MAYBE a B- if I'm feeling the Christmas spirit.

He was fighting the puck a lot, off his angle a bit, and got lucky with two goals called back. But he played well enough for the win and I'm happy for him

 

[Leafidelity]

Nice story but the boat back is now boarding

 

[NVious]

He and Matthew Murray both have a .930 save percentage in the AHL.

The NBA has Lebron and Bronny, the NHL has Matt Murray and Matt Murray

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Thats nice of them to send Stolarz there to pick up him.

 

[Seras]

I'm not sure I see the Leafs keeping three goalies and I don't see them keeping him over Woll and Stollarz.

That would be an awesome problem to have once all 3 are healthy and ready for NHL duty at the same time

 

[ItWasJustified]

including missing the entirety of last season to recovery

The Leafs only needed his cap space last season so of course he's playing now.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

I have to think that if he plays well the leafs keep him, no?

not unless we send Woll down to the minors

 

[rojac]

not unless we send Woll down to the minors

Woll also needs to clear waivers to go down.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

Woll also needs to clear waivers to go down.

well then I dont see why room for Murray

 

[HockeyVirus]

not unless we send Woll down to the minors

Why would the Leafs send their best goalie to the minors?

 

[Arthur Morgan]

Why would the Leafs send their best goalie to the minors?

I didn't say they should, I forgot he's no longer waiver exempt but it looks like there's no room for Murray once Stolarz is back

I thought goalies needed 50 starts to lose their exempt status, he's sitting at 49

 

[Golden_Jet]

Has he knocked the goal posts off the pegs yet.

 

[Gnashville]

The NBA has Lebron and Bronny, the NHL has Matt Murray and Matt Murray

There are no longer 2 Sebastian Aho’s?

 

[Golden_Jet]

There are no longer 2 Sebastian Aho’s?

Also there is 2 Elias Pettersson’s

 

[Seras]

not unless we send Woll down to the minors

I mean say everyone is healthy and able to play at the same time then you deal with it imo.

That would be a good problem to have

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

There are no longer 2 Sebastian Aho’s?

So, close, but the other one is hurt and plays (when healthy) for the Penguins. The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.

 

[Rodgerwilco]

This is awesome! Murray has had some incredibly high highs as well as some incredibly low lows in this league. Great to see him making a comeback.

 

[mel]

As a Pens fan I'm rooting for him to do well. Happy to see him making a comeback.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

I dont think we have the cap space. but who would you dump to let Murray rot in the pressbox?

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Despite being made of glass, you have to give it to the guy for keep wanting to stay in the league.

 

[cyris]

And he is back down to the AHL. Likely just roster management to extend the window where he doesn’t require waivers and he will be called back up for him to start during the Leafs next back to back.
