well if you can't draw definitive conclusions about players you know nothing about after one preseason game, when can you?

I base my opinions on detailed reports from QP.

as opposed to all of those defencemen who are so successful when defencemen get outside of them?
- scotch_tape

Everyone but him can catch up.

if you can get outside of him he's done.

I think we'll appreciate having a big guy like him in plenty of situations this year.

Yeah.....nobody knows anything about Murray.

Rookie....isn't he?

i don't get this. Murray was always molasses on ice, and always managed to be effective. all of a sudden he's on the Habs, and his lack of foot speed is detrimental.

Yes but that makes him no different than any other big defender..The problem is getting around him,easier said than done..

he may very well be. i don't know. but drawing conclusions after 1 game in mid September is foolish.

Any other non Habs fans want to comment?

Pylonesque.

- scotch_tape

all i'm saying is that it was a noticeable sub plot to the game last night. i have not seen 50 sharks games a year.

Pylonesque.
