The Toronto Maple Leafs look like Stanley Cup contenders lately and Matt Murray has a lot to do with that.
There wasn’t a Toronto Maple Leafs fan who wasn’t a little skeptical (OK, maybe one) when the team decided to make Matt Murray its starter this season, but he’s currently living up to expectations.
After allowing four goals in his debut, Murray got hurt and missed roughly a month of action. For a player who’s suffered many injuries in the past, we all thought this was the beginning of the end.
In Murray’s absence, Ilya Samsonov stepped in and looked brilliant and we all forgot about Murray.
