We'll just agree to disagree so this doesn't go on forever. In my opinion, for the teams I like, as long as they're winning it doesn't matter who plays or sits.
He gave up four goals in half a period. Murray has given up three goals and is 2-0 since taking over. It's playoff time, if I were a fan of Pittsburgh, I would't mad about the move unless Murray was playing bad and losing.
Yes, it is silly. What is also silly is your hatred for a Stanley Cup winning goaltender on a team you cheer for. MAF played himself out of his starting job and until Murray has a bad game I would assume the starting job is his. It is the ECF, hard to blame a coach for making a change and sticking with it when it works.
I'm not questioning his loyalty or patience. Sometimes if you want something you have to take it. His goal should be to work harder and perform better than Cam in practice. That, in my mind, would only help both players. It'd be nice to have two goalies pushing each other and splitting time every weekend or every other. Or just the ability to go with the hot hand while having confidence in both guys.
I'd rather see him stick around. Embrace the challenge and take some starts from Cam. If you shy away from competition now how will you do at the next level when it becomes even harder.
I suppose you're right, I didn't look at it that way. Maybe school, football, being away from home, and a kid was too much to process at first. Some time away probably changed his perspective.
That's absolutely true. Maybe having a kid and spending a year away led to him maturing quickly and changing his views on life. He may now realize the importance of an education in creating a better life for himself and most importantly his kid.
