Confirmed with Link: Jarry signed to 3 year $10.5m contract

[vodeni]

My bet is on Murray ending up as a better goalie than Jarry, if he gets on a contending team and a competent coach he will kill it again,

Fix the defense = fix Murray. He should go to the Islanders. He would crush it there.

 

[dogthateats]

I love watching Jarry’s puck-handling.

 

[HandshakeLine]

A good puckhandler is a thing of beauty. I'd like to see Jarry get comfortable back there and really start to rifle the puck up the boards to clear dump-ins ala Barrasso.

Looks like we're going in a "riskier" direction as opposed to "definitely stable and risk-free" bonafide NHL stud goalie Matt Murray.

That's an interesting way to describe it

This thread needs a goalie we can all rally behind:

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Pretty happy with this, tbh. Just the right amount of cap and term to see if he's really the long-term solution, imo.

Hope he proves it.

 

[HandshakeLine]

I'll be pleasantly surprised if Jarry is a long-term solution. But I'll be honest, I kind of think we'll eventually need another in like 4-5 years, unless we want to keep Jarry for the rebuild.

100 percent think this is the case but sadly we don't have the extra 5m to see it here. And i love Murray.

We're going to need a whole new team at that point anyway. We'll almost certainly be tanking.

And i love Murray.

This is news.

I think Jarry has it in him to be as good.

The biggest question this season will be if Jarry will be thrashed about by fans for not being Fleury or if it was just Murray because he replaced him thing.

Jarry will be loved because he chased that job stealer Murray out of town.

It's the latter.

Jarry is already Satan because everyone is convinced that he's Surrogate MAF just for not being Murray.

Even though it's obvious that Emil Larmi is Surrogate MAF, right down to the goofy-arse personality and lacking performance.

The key is to just not have a goalie and ice 6 players.

I hate that people still think this narrative exists.

 

[HandshakeLine]

I really don’t see much difference in Murray or Jarry’s ceilings tbh, besides the fact that one is a better puckhandler and the other one is mentally shambolic.

 

[HandshakeLine]

Both could easily be starters on any playoff team. Both could maybe suck ass. One we know already does suck ass on occasion, the other one is too new to have that stink on him, but has the potential to f*** up just as badly.

 

[HandshakeLine]

Maybe Murray gets his head right and plays well from now on? Maybe Jarry’s mental lapses were overrated here because people always love the goalie they had success with, regardless of how long ago that was.

All I know for sure is I don’t care, and I’m going to keep shitting on goalie chat until the Reaper drags me kicking and screaming from this mortal coil.

Jarry is far better at handling the puck which will be a big benefit to the D.

[Randy Butternubs]

Despres's brother?

 

[Sidgeni Malkby]

Jarry is far better at handling the puck which will be a big benefit to the D.

So how did we manage to win 2 cups without it?

I agree that Murray is no longer the same however our D being underwhelming is also a factor.
