In a preseason game with a lot of positives, Sheldon Keefe reveals who the best player in the game was in his eyes
Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe was largely very happy with his team's 5-1 win in Montreal and how could he not be with a result like that?
There were a lot of positives on Monday. For one, Nick Robertson and William Nylander both skated away with 3 points, with Alex Kerfoot potting 2 goals of his own for an 8-point night for the Leafs' second line. But it was the play of goaltender Matt Murray that impressed him the most.
"I though [Murray] was just terrific all night long. Even the goal that went in - he made the save and then it's the rebound that we don't take care of. I just thought he was really, really good. He was the highlight of the game for me."

There was a lot of concern over whether or not Murray still has anything left in the tank in terms of what made him a special goaltender early on in his career. Early on here in training camp, I think he's showing that he does have some magic left. He just needs the right type of support in front of him to be able to settle in and continue to play at the level that he has throughout training camp.
