Rookie goaltender Murray stealing the show for Penguins

[stillers4me]

Matt Murray isn't in the mood to think about what it all means, this ride that he's on. The NHL's best team on the other side of the ice. His mentor watching from bench. An arena chanting his name.

Not the ripple effects his playoff run will have on his career, the franchise he plays for or the long-term future of Marc-Andre Fleury, whose guidance is one of the reasons Murray has become so good, so fast.

I have season tickets for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins and I had the privilege of seeing Murray re-write the AHL record books in person last year. I'm thrilled to see him kicking ass in the NHL so far.

Again, my hockey knowledge is worthless but I'm impressed w/Murray.

Murray has been exceptional. No way I even consider taking him out until he shows he's "off" one night... if that even happens. Even Captain caveman had a few words to mumble in his ear after he froze the puck last night... who's in who's head?
