A good game overall for Matt. Would have liked to see him block that shot that Stastny scored on but great job of screening Varlamov throughout the game.

12:22 playing time, +1, with 5 hits and 4 blocked shots. Included in that ice time was one 2 minute 10 second shift in the 1st period where they couldn't get the puck out of their own end and iced it twice.

Murray is getting skewered at a Habs blog that seems fairly prominent (first hit on google for "Montreal Canadiens blog". The blog post itself, and pretty much all of the commenters, hate him. It seems like the tone of the blog is generally over the top anyway, but still.

Holy shit. Them's fighting words, right there.
Ouch.
Murray is good at one thing: Hitting. It's because he's 6-foot-3 and 240 pounds, and you know that's how big he is because it's repeated literally every time he's mentioned on a television broadcast. There's nothing else to say about him. He's big and physical and slow and an awful skater and unskilled and big and physical and almost useless out there and also big and physical. That he's been in the league as long as he has is entirely due to the fact that he happens to be a very large man. Under no circumstances should any coach play him in a playoff game of this gravity, especially when all he can do is the exact opposite of what worked for his team literally two days earlier.
Edit to add: On the other hand, there are two other Canadiens who also failed to clear the rebound that Fraser eventually put in, and "floating around his own zone in a wide-eyed mixture of confusion and horror" is the kind of sports journalism cliche that Deadspin usually takes pride in skewering.

Unfortunately it looks like the advanced stats are on their side. The Bruins' Corsi when Murray was on the ice even strength was 70%. The Bruins' SA/60 when he was on the ice even strength was 94.3, which was higher than 12 NHL teams managed on power play this year.Josh '99

Apparently, Doug has turned into a door-stop. I haven't paid attention to the NHL since Nieuwy retired, so I don't know if this is sudden.

I thought he looked okay for the Penguins last year, but no one else did.
He's 34. It's quite possible that he's lost a step or three, as much of a shame as that is.

True enough, but the numbers do a fine enough job of pointing that out without attempting to characterize what was going on in his head. "The Bruins controlled the puck when Murray was on the ice" is analysis. "Murray was scared and confused" is tripe.Trotsky

If I were to say to you, "France beat Canada today," what sport would you think I was talking about? Would hockey be your very last guess? Because France beat Canada today in hockey. Yes, obviously many of Canada's best players are playing in the Stanley Cup playoffs, but even so, it's a team of NHL players, many of whom are pretty good NHL players, whereas France's team is 38-year-old Cristobal Huet and bunch of guys I've never heard of. And yes, it was a shootout win and not a real win, but still.
Oh, the reason I posted this here and not in a new thread is because Ben Scrivens was on the bench in favor of James Reimer. (I feel like that conversation has been had before.) Perhaps Scrivens will get a shot in Canada's next game, against Slovakia tomorrow.

Edit to add: OH! Kirill Gotovets is playing for hosts Belarus. He was not in the lineup for their 6-1 loss to the USA last Friday but was part of the third defensive pairing for their 4-1 win over Kazakhstan yesterday and their 4-3 win over Switzerland earlier today (sorry JTW). He had no points in either game and has one minor penalty. Belarus play next against Finland on Thursday.

A nice article on the 1979 Boston v. Montreal playoff series and the "Too Many Men" call that sent game 7 into OT. It fits here, because Dryden was in goal for Montreal, his last season in the NHL.

Canada went back to Reimer for their final preliminary round game against Norway (won 3-2, Reimer gave up 2 goals on 16 shots). Scrivens got the start in the QF against Finland and unfortunately didn't get the job done; Canada led 2-1 after 2 periods, outshooting Finland heavily throughout, but Finland tied it less than a minute into the third and got the go-ahead goal with just over three minutes left. Overall, he gave up three goals on 26 shots; Pekka Rinne stopped 36 of 38 to earn the win.nyc94

I picked all the best teams when I was five, so I'm not a Rangers fan, but I root for NY teams if my teams are out. I probably liked the Islanders better for a few years until they traded Moulson and vaporized a few draft picks in the process, but oh well.
Strange to see the Rangers won, be happy, and then see Moore scored the goal and be kinda pissed.
