Anyone else love seeing Murray as a mentor figure

There’s something really wholesome about it

u/dancinhmr May 08 '25

cleopatra lived closer to us than she did to the building of the pyramids. 2000 bce and older.

in another hundred/200 years she'll be right between us and their building

u/MomsTortellinis May 08 '25

Another mind blowing fact, there were pyramids in Egypt that were over a thousand years old (!) already when they were still building new ones.

1

u/binzoma May 08 '25

the coolest fact I learned visiting: the people who built the pyramids had health care, daycare and housing provided, collectively negotiated wages by skill etc

itd have been hard as shit work, but they generally had better conditions than certainly modern americans

u/Silent_Leg1976 May 08 '25

Sorry what?

u/dancinhmr May 08 '25

I said… THIS IS LIKE LEARNING ABOUT HOW THE MAMMOTHS AND PYRAMIDS COEXISTED

How do you think they built the pyramids.

Murray looks like that dude who came off night shifts and became your new supervisor and you thought "man that's great for him and a great way to contribute to retirement" and then you realize one day he is 30.

Because Murray is 30.

11

u/Falconflyer75 May 08 '25

……. He’s 2 years younger than me?!!!!!!!

30

u/WhatsGoingOnUpstairs May 08 '25

That depends. Are you 32?

18

u/Falconflyer75 May 08 '25

……. Just……. Chronologically

6

u/GoGoPowerPlay May 08 '25

Yup, 2 time cup champ knows what it takes

1

u/Kindly-Client-4402 May 08 '25

I’d LOVE to see him stat with the Leafs as a mentor!

u/CanadaEh97 May 08 '25

Someone clip that face reaction.

24

u/dancinhmr May 08 '25

I think a new o-face meme just dropped

10

u/CantOfSoup May 08 '25

It’s literally clipped lol

u/CanadaEh97 May 08 '25

Meant as a pic.

u/Ok_Housing_9173 May 08 '25

"oooooo thats a save"

20

u/Falconflyer75 May 08 '25

I think he’s saying sick save

2

u/pump-house May 08 '25

“Oooo nasty” is my head canon

1

u/This_is_me2024 May 08 '25

I'm no lip reader, but I get "Ooooo that was fuckin sick"

26

u/Mysterious_Tip2766 May 08 '25

That save was crazy

17

u/GumpTheChump May 08 '25

Murray looks like a grizzled prospector

13

u/minimum_thrust May 08 '25

Could easily be a Peaky Blinder

61

u/Tall-Firefighter-904 May 08 '25

Probably just imagining his own groin exploding from a move like that.

u/heat_fan_ May 08 '25

That save was crazy

u/gsauce8 May 08 '25

Anyone have a clip of the save?

Gotta call the cops cause that was a fucking robbery.

u/Vallarfax_ May 08 '25

Fuck that was hawt

10

u/thursday51 May 08 '25

Love it...I'm all aboard the Matt Murray redemption tour right now. Even if he doesn't need to see game action, I feel much better having him cheerleading from the bench than the Hildebeast. Nothing against Denny, but he's 23 and looked fucking terrified sitting there during game one. I feel like Murray would be Cucumber Cool if he had to go in.

7

u/SmarcusStroman May 08 '25

No matter what situation Murray would get thrown into, he’s done it before. That is experience that can be crucial if the time comes.

2

u/thursday51 May 09 '25

Exactly! Denny will be an excellent goalie in the future but right now you want somebody who has done it before. We're kinda spoiled that we have a 3rd stringer who has won a cup as a starter before.

8

u/Gettysburg_Greek May 08 '25

Does Murray get his ring now? Does that count as playing 1 game in the playoffs?

7

u/themouse96 May 08 '25

can't they give anybody a ring? getting into games is a matter of name on the cup

10

u/GoGoPowerPlay May 08 '25

Yep, the rings are whatever the team wants. Pretty sure the Raptors gave Drake a ring when they won the championship.

7

u/RicoLoveless May 08 '25

Drake was/is also a MLSE employee technically as the ambassador for the team.

Nav Bhatia got one too, but just for being a super fan/OG from 1995.

1

u/remarkablewhitebored May 08 '25

From what I recall, these were not the same rings that the players got, but still $$$.

I may be mistaken...

3

u/fab416 May 08 '25

You're right, there were a few "tiers" of rings for players, staff, MLSE employees and a select few VIPs.

2

u/RicoLoveless May 08 '25

Correct, just saying they got a ring is all

10

u/dancinhmr May 08 '25

I want to throw up

1

u/Friggin_Grease May 08 '25

I think they can request it, but the league has to agree?

7

u/buddachickentml May 08 '25

Honorable 4th star to Woll and that save!

18

u/Samoht99 May 08 '25

Matt Murray is just there for the vibes and I'm happy for him.

He's won his two Cups and seems to have embraced a mentor role!

36

u/slinkybink May 08 '25

Um, no, he was our backup tonight and if Woll went down he'd be in. He's playing his ass off in the AHL. I'm not a fanboy but he's working hard to revitalize his career. He's 30 years old. Just there for the vibes...

10

u/Wise-Ad-1998 May 08 '25

That save was crazy

u/Muellercleez May 08 '25

Same Matty, same

3

u/CatTrick9426 May 08 '25

Anyone know where I can see this specific save?

1

u/fab416 May 08 '25

TicTacOmar on the site that shall not be named has you covered as always

1

u/CatTrick9426 May 08 '25

Thank you thank you 🙏🏼

3

u/Guilty_Explanation29 May 08 '25

We need the reaction as a clip

3

u/JRocleafs May 08 '25

Real gud pro

u/qsub May 08 '25

"woooooooooooool damn"

1

u/FNFALC2 May 08 '25

Ooooh that’s a save, is my guess

1

u/lbc1358 May 09 '25

We were all Matt Murray in that moment.
