BREAKING: Matt Murray Shocks The Hockey World And Returns From Injury
Maple Leafs were caught by surprise on Wednesday when it was announced that Matt Murray is back from injury shocking the whole hockey world.
Matt Murray Shockingly Returns From Injury
Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Brad Treliving didn't provide an official update on goalie Matt Murray, but his presence in the team's dressing room on Wednesday spoke volumes.
Insiders, including Jonas Siegel of the Athletic, revealed after Wednesday's practice that all five goalie stalls were set up in the dressing room, with Ilya Samsonov, Joseph Woll, Martin Jones, Dennis Hildeby, and Murray in attendance.
This sparked a flurry of excitement on social media, with fans immediately rallying behind Murray, believing he could be the savior for the team, leading them to a Stanley Cup final berth.
However, it's surprising to see fans pinning their hopes on Murray, especially considering his prolonged absence due to injury. Initially ruled out for the entire season by GM Treliving, fans had shifted their trust to Ilya Samsonov. Yet, Samsonov's performance has been inconsistent, prompting speculation about Murray's potential return.
While Murray's comeback may be hindered by the team's cap situation during the regular season, he could make a playoff return when the cap restrictions are lifted.
Initially sidelined due to hip surgery with a recovery timeline of 6-8 months, Murray's progress has been positive, according to GM Treliving. He seems to be on the mend, evidenced by his return to the Maple Leafs dressing room.
As the Maple Leafs continue their season, Murray's potential return adds an intriguing dimension to their goaltending lineup.
Stay tuned for further updates.
