Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube recently spoke about Matt Murray's performance against the Washington Capitals, which could have been a lot better.
Matt Murray allowed four goals on 31 shots last night and while this is not a putrid performance by any means, there were certainly a few goals that should have been stopped.

In the end, the Leafs lost by a score of 5-2 against a Washington Capitals team that has had their number all season long.
After the game, Murray spoke about his performance and was honest about how he is having a hard time keeping up with the pace.
«There's maybe, like, one or two times a game where I feel like I'm just a little bit late picking up pucks through traffic. That type of thing that happened a couple times out there tonight,» Murray admitted.
«They played hard. Made it hard on me and got to the paint. And lots of traffic, lots of chances off the rush. They play a really tough game.»

Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube, on the other hand, got a bit quiet when he was asked about Murray.
Overall, you can tell he was not a fan of what he was watching tonight, and it is easy to understand why.
«I'm sure he wants a couple back. But he hasn't played a ton of hockey. I mean, he battled. He fought.»
Then again, Berube is a man of few words usually and when it comes to Murray, it is just his second game back.
However, one has to wonder what the Leafs are going to do moving forward, as they have not had good goaltending since Anthony Stolarz's injury.
This is going to be something that the Leafs need to clean up, sooner rather than later and it is not going to be easy.
