After a hot start, Murray has begun to look more like the guy who struggled in two previous seasons in Ottawa than the one who won two Stanley Cups in Pittsburgh
Perhaps it is unfair to sound an alarm over Matt Murray’s recent play in the Maple Leafs’ net. Perhaps not.On Tuesday, the veteran goaltender got yanked after giving up four goals on just eight shots. If one includes the four he allowed in a loss to Boston on Saturday that’s eight pucks that have eluded him of the past 42.
Toronto rallied from a 4-2 disadvantage to edge Florida 5-4 in overtime on Tuesday. Ilya Samsonov came off the bench to save 11 shots – and the day – and will almost certainly get the nod against the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday at Scotiabank Arena. “I don’t know what the hell those guys were doing,” Maurice said in a slag at the officials that may set him back slightly in the pocket. “It wasn’t Florida Panther-friendly.” At one point in the second period, Sam Bennett of the Panthers was cited for interference and sent to the penalty box, only to have the call reversed and the Maple Leafs’ Timothy Liljegren handed two minutes instead, also for interference.
