You rank Murray behind Gibson & Hellebuyck?

DA

I'd definitely place him behind Gibson, but I'd probably put him ahead of Hellebuyck.

This surprises me also. I mean one of those 3 goalies won a Stanley cup. And I realize he didn't do it alone. But wow. That is quite the hill you've chosen nonnie.

It's not that crazy of an opinion, even if it's not that easy to argue, either. Murray has the smallest regular season NHL sample size of the three, playing behind a team that was not only very good, but particularly good about the kind of shots they let past to their G. It's almost impossible to make judgments on sample sizes like that. That goes for the others as well, but as least their samples are larger (and Hellebuyck much less sheltered).

As the anon who asked the question, I wasn't necessarily judging the opinion, I wanted to clarify cause nonny wasn't using names.

I was surprised to hear (cant remember where) but apparently months ago, before playoffs/Cup, Chiarelli highlighted Murray when asked about goalies for Team Nth America.

ayrt

Yeah, I was responding to the airt who said that that's "quite the hill you've chosen." The person who made that remark said Murray was "arguably" the worst of the three and it is actually quite arguable.
