Douglas Murray: What a hit!

[WhiskeySeven*]

You come on the right side, Subban and Emelin will destroy your body, oh the left side? Murray will take away your soul. Your choice

I don't really care about all those mini-stats and micro-stat junk - A TOUGH TEAM IS WAY MORE ENTERTAINING!!

Gorges - Subban
Markov - Emelin
Murray - Diaz

We're set, that's it, that's the best our D could look and the sheer lack of mobility by Murray will force Therrien's hand into adopting a more "collapse-style" defense, which works to everybody's benefit.

I love it.

About the hit.. man oh man, Kreider ran into a slow moving wrecking ball and it's his own damn fault.

Not a big big fan of this type of player, but with our puck moving ability, he may help keep the crease clear a bit. I think he'll prove to be more of a liability than anything, but if his minutes are managed properly, he might be a pretty useful player. I didn't think he was particularly good last night though, but that's kind of expected.

Loved that hit. I love fat men. Subban, Emelin, Murray are all big. Need to trade Diaz for someone that is built for the NHL. Bouillon will be gone after this year. Don't know what to do with Gorges. He made some good hits but he also gets destroyed like he's 150 pounds. The guy is a spaghetti though, gets destroyed but no broken bones, just gets up and plays like nothing happened.

 

[FlavorFlav]

I like this guy.

I've watched it about 6 times also, Murray absolutely steamrolled dude like he wasn't even there.

I think this will get around the league, and quick little forwards will take notice and show just a teeny bit more reticence cross that blueline, boy...

 

[jedimyrmidon]

People saying how they can't remember what a good hit was since Emelin went out until last night with Murray.

I disagree: PK can lay out some massive checks. Let's not forget our best Dman

 

[Teufelsdreck]

This guy is a wall on skates. Too bad he'll be sitting for MT's loverboy Bouillon when Emelin will come back.

That call was questionable, though. Seemed like a reverse-hit to me, as Murray was the one who touched the puck last and Kreider was coming in on him.

Yes, he's a wall, but as you know, walls aren't very mobile. I agree with you that he should be ranked ahead of Bouillon, though.

 

[Joe Cole]

****ing excellent. You want to cross our blue line, I will **** you up.

Love this guy. Took on the Rags biggest ******* and floored him immediately. Did not pick on a small guy, chose the the biggest guy.

Well done Dougie.

Well....Kreider is not the biggest, nor the heaviest Ranger. Brian Boyle and Taylor Pyatt are both taller and heavier.

That said.... Kreider is not DD sized.

 

[Analyzer*]

Does it even register as a hit ?

It was interference. It was nice hit from standing back and just watching it, but it was an illegal hit at that.

Big difference with PK and Emelin is they usually have a bit more momentum going into the hit. Murray is just a wall. Kreider was coming at him. Kreider bounces off. Murray is one solid dude. He is quite slow, but it was nice to see him defending Price last night.

 

[Beendair Donedat]

Look out, the pacifists are out already and Murray is the next target... One bad game and they'll be calling for his head.

Murray brings size and snarl back there. He's not making pretty plays or winning speed contests, he's being a mean tough SOB that makes life hell on opposing forwards while protecting our smaller guys.

Did his job fine last night. Won battles, played hard and the team got the shut out victory. But the whiners have to complain about something

 

[rockjngo]

Guys like subban emelin and Murray are built for the playoffs. I like gorges-subban. Markova-emelin. Murray-Diaz for the playoffs

 

[PunkinDrublic*]

Bump Diaz for Tinordi and boom !

 

[OpenIceHit]

Bump Diaz for Tinordi and boom !

+1 !!!!

Okay....

You say that Subban, Emelin and Murray are built for playoffs.

Yet keep Diaz in your lineup... ?!?!?!

 

[patthebest]

Douglas... I love ya

 

[macavoy]

I had no clue about this signing until tonight.

All I can say is I love it. Yea he is slow and a liability.

Oh also, I've nver been a fan of the we need to get bigger club.

But now that I've seen what bigger means in terms of Murray, I'm on board. I love his style out there, throwing checks and punishing people for being in our end. **** Hal Friendly gill's poke checks, I want Murray shove a guy on his ass 8 days a week.

I'm officially drinking the we need to get bigger and tougher koolaid.

 

[Analyzer*]

Sharks fans are correct. Most of his big time hits come from people trying to to hit him.

 

[kassian]

What a hit on MacDermid tonight.

Why do people try and hit Murray?! You can't!

[donghabs98]

He might not be fast but boy when Emelin comes back with him and Murray I think people will start thinking twice when skating into the Canadiens Zone!

Subban
Emelin
Murray

Those guys who can deliver the big hits!

 

[Kimota]

I'm gonna go ahead and call him BOOM BOOM.

I don't care if Murray gets penalised for his hits, I like what I see too much.

Let's see, your type of player must be Ian Bullis.

 

[We Want The 25]

loving him so far. you can see other team players think twice before going in the corner when douglas is around. as long as we don't overplay him he will be a very good addition to our defence
