You're upset with this reputation? I want Hornby to make the league to solidify it.

Murray just got an assist on a Joe Thorton's deflection to put the Sharks up 3-2 with 7.3 seconds left in the 3rd period.  It was a nice shot on net from the high slot, that Thorton tipped passed Kipper.

Great game by Murray tonight.  He outraced Iginla (yes, he had a headstart) for an icing call with 38 seconds left.  The Sharks then kept the puck in the offensive end until Doug's shot was tipped by Thornton for the game winner.  Doug also had several other opportunities early in the game including two backhanders on rushes that Kiprusoff had to save.  Doug obviously now has the full faith of the coaching staff, as even with seven defensemen dressed tonight, he was out there a lot in the final minutes.

I think if you look at the 5on5 minutes he is getting the 2nd most on the team as he is paired with Campbell on the first pairing. It is a nice pairing b/c Douglas stays defensively responsible as Campbell has a bit more offensive flair. On power plays and penalty kills Douglas doesn't get quite as much ice time as other players (pretty much zero on power plays).

He used to get alot of time on PPs or PKs, one of the two but I forget which one.  But in the games I've been to he seemed pretty consistently on one (I want to say PP but I'm not sure).

Indeed I am upset. My initial desires has always been world peace, an end to hunger, and environmentally friendly lip gloss. Barring that, I was hoping for Douglas (when did it stop being Doug? Or was it always Douglas?) to lead the league in plus/minus, finish off the Stanley Cup with a Bobby Orr style final game goal, and take home the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy, after which he'd succeed Ed Marinaro on Hill Street Blues: The Movie.

When he publicly stated that he preferred being called Douglas.

You know, a couple of hours before that happened (when the Sharks were trailing), I said on USCHO that what they need to do is let Murray shoot the puck more.  And Murray shoots the puck and look what happens!

I could totally be an NHL head coach.  ::uptosomething::

It stopped when his mother said so ;)  She's been mentioned in several interviews saying that "Doug" with a Swedish acccent sounds like "dog", so she prefers the full name.

The hosts, analysts, and callers on the Team990 out of Montreal throughout the day and almost without exception were hoping to see O'Byrne in the line up.  He was mentioned as a needed change for some toughness to help stand up to the Bruins' intensity.
