Hal Gill without even thinking twice. But right now, Murray.

 

[MasterDecoy]

I didn't even go past the first 'R'.

Hall and it's not even close. Guy was very good for is. Mur-- on the other hand....

 

[Le Barron de HF]

A better question would have been Murray in his prime (2010ish) vs Gill in 2011.

 

[Gary320]

If we are talking right now. I'd take Murray. Gill is done.
If we are talking overall. Gill was terrific for us. He was a second goalie in the 2010 playoffs.

 

[eFFeRR]

Hal Gill 100%

While crazy slow, just like Murray, he was solid as a rock positionally. Sometimes Murray tries to do a little too much and gets caught out of position. You would never see that from Hal.

I was sad when Gill was traded
Voted Gill, he was great for us, not only with his play, but his leadership, specially with what he did with Subban.

I still remember the Octopus special during the PK in the playoff.

Hal Gill of 2010...

Where was this a debate, nevermind a great debate?

Happy to see that some people remember that

Hal Gill is one of the best, most clutch playoff performers of the 2000s for us. I'd love him in his prime, Halpern, Domenick Moore on the team right about now. Add Metropolit, and we've basically got a cup.

 

[le_sean]

Gill was amazing. He got away with everything too. I loved when he made Crosby his ***** and the refs are just like "play on".

 

[DouglasMurraysSpeed*]

Gill was very soft though. Murray sucks.

Tinordi.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Gill no doubt about it for me

Murray was done since last year, couldn't be a regular for the Sharks and even when the Pens traded for him he didn't bring much

It was a good depth signing for us and brought a physical presence that this team needed but besides that he really is done in the league

 

[Habset]

Nothing against Murray as I've appreciated his contribution this year but Gill was a beast on the PK and in his own end. Throw in his leadership qualities and I chose Gill.

P.S. This could also be a competition of ho is the slowest player I've ever seen ply for the Habs

 

[Natey]

Gill.

Not even a question.

 

[Hoople]

I guess getting eliminated by the Bruins in Game 6 leaves us with not much else to talk about.

Lyle Odelein FTW.

 

[JAVO16]

Since when is this a debate ?

 

[Sined]

Not a fan of either, but Gill was far more effective.

 

[Lebowski]

At this point Murray is better, but comparing today's Murray to 2010's Gill is unfair to the Swedish tank.

 

[Price is Wright]

Gill was both funny and could prevent pucks from going in by just laying on the ice.

Murray has a funny nickname but his team plays like its on a penalty kill with him on the ice.

Gill wins easy.

 

[coolasprICE]

Gill 2010 and Weaver 2014 would make a great PK duo

 

[SirClintonPortis]

Gill was better. He knew how to clutch and grab effectively. Murray can't even do that. Gill also was able to play with Subban without dragging Subban down.

Murray and it's not even close.

Murray intimdates and punishes.
