BREAKING: Matt Murray Under Investigation For Illegal Net Manipulation
This is truly just a ridiculous story. Matt Murray is under fire right now, for the third time this season, for net manipulation.
Essentially, Murray is being accused of purposefully loosening the net in order to be able to easily knock it off its posts. This would give the Leafs an obvious unfair advantage in high-danger situations.
While it couldn't be proven before, Murray couldn't resist playing with his goalposts mid-game yesterday. He was thus caught on camera in this incredibly incriminating clip:
This sparked NHL insider Michael Russo to clue us in to ongoing league investigations concerning the subject:
It was noticed in the Situation Room last night that Murray was wiggling the net during TV timeout. League is actually testing nets coming up but also clipping goalies taking nets off moorings and bringing examples to GM's Meeting in March. Murray's net came off twice last night
Whether Murray is confirmed to be cheating or not, he should probably be focussing on the game in front of him!
