I started to respond to a reply our good friend Rick Buker wrote to my post grading the Penguins‘ Goalies regarding Matt Murray. Rick echoed a similar sentiment first voiced by our own Phil Krundle. However, it morphed into the following;
Rick wrote of Murray, “Yet he did seem to develop a nagging tendency to give up goals at precisely the wrong time. Someone mentioned that his save percentage when we held the lead in the playoffs was .000”
It is interesting how urban legends get started, someone says something and no one really checks to see how true that statement was, so that whatever was said starts to become fact in the collective memory.
