There has been a growing buzz around Toronto Maple Leafs' starting goaltender, Matt Murray, this season. While there has been no official analysis to verify this trend, he has developed a bit of a reputation for knocking off his net in critical moments when his opponents are pressing.
This recurring behavior by Murray has become more evident as the season progresses, and it has caused concern among fans and analysts alike. In multiple games this season, Murray looks to have intentionally knocked his net off during intense moments when the opposing team is trying to score.
The latest incident occurred during a recent game between the Ottawa Senators and the Toronto Maple Leafs. The game ended in a 5-4 shootout win for the Maple Leafs, but not before Murray knocked off the net in a critical moment when the Senators were pressing hard to score. This strategic move by Murray proved to be successful as it stopped the Senators' momentum and gave his team a chance to regroup.
While some see this as a clever tactic, others view it as unsportsmanlike conduct that should be penalized. The debate continues, but one thing is certain – Matt Murray's reputation as a goaltender who knocks off his net during crucial moments has made him a player to watch out for.
