Murray likely should/will get the start if he's good to go.

He's got the playoff pedigree to know what to expect mentally. I also would rather trust him late game when the team needs to shut the door
Keefe should be fired if Murray plays 1 game in round 1.
 
I picked Sammy but only if he is the quiet goalie not the flopping fish he sometimes can be. Its closer than people realize as Murray has proven himself a playoff stud in the past and the preessure in T.O can over flatten some goalies..
 
Trick question - we ride or die with Joe "The Brick" Woll.


Okay but it'll actually probably be Sammy.

Which goal last night was Murray supposed to save? All of them were difficult. Just complete lazy defense and players just standing around. And Keefe is praising his players for their best game? Haha! The bar is set so low. Each goal with exception to the 5-3 goal were preventable. Laughable that he blamed his goalie for that loss.

Murray won the cup.

And that would normally matter, in this case it does not.

Murray is a walking injury.

Beyond that he's allowed 4+ goals in 7 of his last 8 games, even if you give him a pass on one of those because It's a 48 save performance the fact Still remains overal he's sucked.
 
Samsonov -> Murray -> Woll

Murray gets a short leash though. He was acquired because he was supposed to be cup winning veteran that can come in and shut the door in big games. If he can't do that in his first start, particularly amid his recent struggles, you go with Woll.

He has not sucked. Some of you have a hate on for Murray for absolutely no reason. Look at Murray's numbers adjusted for shot quality. He's been above expected.

When he hasn’t been injured which isn’t very often he has been a rebound machine and awful. You can excuse away a game or 2 of letting in 4 goals but not 7 of his last starts
 
Samsonov > Woll > Murray


Dump Murray in the off-season. Extend ROR (and then Bunting, priority ROR) with the extra $.
