GDT: Penguins @ Vancouver - 22:00 EST

Because he'd make the ******* big save.

Yes, he has done that most of the time so far in his one month as an NHL starter. We know from watching Murray that goalies who start off hot never go through slumps or regressions.

 

[Empoleon8771]

1. You're not wrong.

2. He gets paid to make the big save, and he's not doing it.

Eh he's paid like $3.75 million a year. I don't really think his pay matters here, he's either making the save or he's not, but he's not really paid like a top end goalie.

 

[MrBurghundy]

It hit the bottom of the cross bar.

He was high out in his crease. It wasn't high when it went past him.

 

[PensandCaps]

Jarry gonna get hurt in the playoffs and Murray gonna play hero.

 

[ChaosAgent]

You are aware that a goalie is allowed to make a glove save; after giving up a rebound, on a deflection or on a one timer. Right?

I don't even care that much that he didn't make that stop. The rebound was the bigger sin.

But the magnitude of how bad E.P. beat him - by literally feet - demonstrates how bad his glove reaction time is. It's a huge problem and always will be. Everyone knows high glove is the book on Murray.

 

[MrBurghundy]

Jarry gonna get hurt in the playoffs and Murray gonna play hero.

I mean I'd take it if it happens.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

A guy who used to be funny before most of you were born.

Kind of like Chevy Chase.

You know you're old if you remember when Eddie Murphy was funny.

You know you're ancient if you're old enough to remember when Chevy Chase was funny.

My first date was to a Chevy Chase movie.

 

[Empoleon8771]

This is fine. Murray just gave up the starter role permanently tonight.

It is over for him.

I would be really concerned with Sullivan's judgement if he made a decision on who their starting goalie is based on tonight.

 

[IcedCapp]

He was high out in his crease. It wasn't high when it went past him.

It. Hit. The. Bottom. Of. The. Cross. Bar.
That’s medium to you? Stop your meltdown for 5 seconds and stop moving the goalposts. A medium-height shot, in your opinion, hits the bottom of the cross bar?

 

[KIRK]

Are you trying to disparage Fletch?

Disparage someone who's 6'9 with the Afro?

Not me.

 

[LOGiK]

This is fine. Murray just gave up the starter role permanently tonight.

It is over for him.

Most likely what will happen, yeah.

I don't remember him ever being that funny. Now Gilda Radner . . . . I guess that too makes me ancient.

In other matters, I guess we know what the subject of the PGT will be. . . .

 

[ColePens]

Pretty yucky game. Really wanted Muzz to come through once we scored but that went out the window asap.

 

[66-30-33]

Why has nhl.com taken a shot away from us? we had 20 shots, not 19.

 

[Gurglesons]

@KIRK I think you also mean you’re old if you don’t remember Chevy Chase being a racist piece of shit.

 

[Jacob]

Seems kinda ridiculous to blame Murray on any of those goals.

 

[K Fleur]

I've never checked out any other team's board but yet I'm still convinced this is the worst NHL fanbase when it comes to team goaltender discussion.

 

[KIRK]

Eh he's paid like $3.75 million a year. I don't really think his pay matters here, he's either making the save or he's not, but he's not really paid like a top end goalie.

That's fine. Forget his pay. He's not making the big save, and Jarry is. That's why Jarry is the starter. Better?

 

[EightyOne]

Culmination of nights.

Tonight is just the latest notation in Sully's diary.

 

[66-30-33]

Seems kinda ridiculous to blame Murray on any of those goals.

People just mad Canucks have so little shots but 3 goals.

 

[LOGiK]

Man the second this game is over my old ass is jumping in bed.

I feel like falling asleep to a bad mst movie tonight. I need some laughs after this game.

 

[MrBurghundy]

It. Hit. The. Bottom. Of. The. Cross. Bar.
That’s medium to you? Stop your meltdown for 5 seconds and stop moving the goalposts. A medium-height shot, in your opinion, hits the bottom of the cross bar?

If a player is in as tight as Pettersson was and Murray is as high out as he was, the puck goes over his glove at a mid level height and hits the crossbar.

 

[KIRK]

Yes, he has done that most of the time so far in his one month as an NHL starter. We know from watching Murray that goalies who start off hot never go through slumps or regressions.

That's what people used to say in the Murray versus Fleury debate in 2016.

 

[Flying Dego]

If people can't see that the guy we're facing in Markstrom is the guy that Murray is SUPPOSED TO BE but isn't...man I don't know.

It's pretty simple. Murray isn't a great or even average physical talent but had a tremendous mental edge that he's since steadily lost. With that mental edge gone let's start treating him for what he is now and not his accomplishments 2-3 years ago.

Nail on the head. It's tough watching him right now. He looks slow and plays small. It is massively annoying to see every f****** shot go glove side and he's not even close to sniffing them.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

That's fine. Forget his pay. He's not making the big save, and Jarry is. That's why Jarry is the starter. Better?

See, that's a fair assessment. The stupid shit about his glove on goal 3 is not.
