I may be older but I'm never forgetting #47 & #41
He's 1 season and change from winning those cups. He had an average season last year, and a terrible start this year before the injury. This team, with our position in the playoff race, CAN NOT afford to be loyal to him right now. We need to win games. Period.I disagree, strongly even. The guy EARNED the #1 spot by winning TWO cups. An injury and a hot back up shouldn't send him to the bench playing only back-to-back until the other guy cools down.
Split starts for a few weeks and then make a call.
Maybe I am being too loyal, but these guys are human beings. You have to help Murray build his confidence. Show him the respect he earned. We let Fleury go to commit to Murray (ok, we kinda had to). Honor that commitment. If Murray doesn't rebound, we are going no where. I love what CDS has done for us, but he is not the guy to win us anything.
If he plays better, he'll get his starting job back. If you think he has the ability to do it, then you shouldn't worry about that happening.
If we were sitting pretty in 1st in our division, and Murray had played lights out before getting hurt, then yeah, you'd have a leg to stand on. As it stands, you're way off base.
