We gain or lose ground from one game to the next depending on the result. That's the situation we're in.
Murray is a superior goalie, no question, Jarry -eh I don't know, did not desmith dethrone jarry in AHL, Jarry had a pretty bad stretch at some point...Jarry and Murray are far superior Goalies.
He's just hot. He's a nothing goalie. He's a Zatkoff.

smithy is a very good goalie......I don't think he's better than Murray or Jarry. but he is older, so he has that going for him.you forgot the
DeSmith moves in that crease very well. His glove hand is excellent. So far he is handling the puck exteremly well also. I would say his down movement is superior to Murray and Jarry. Even when Murray was playing his best he is always crouched forward in the butterfly position when down and his lateral movement is not as good as desmith. A good example of this is the goal scored against DeSmith, he pushed with his left leg and slide on his right pad and stopped the first attempt. That was an insanely good save, and that movement is something I haven't seen out of Murray.
NOT saying the Murray is an inferior goalie. When Murray is on his game he is a really big positionally sound goalie that uses more of a blocking style for his saves. Personally I don't like that style but for Murray it's very effective. Kinda like baseball, some pitchers use fastballs more, some use breaking balls more, both can be effective.
All this is to say. DeSmith is legit, now can he maintain this level of focus and rebound control? I dunno. Murray regains his form it's his net again, for now ride the hot hand.
