Connor Murphy Appreciation Post

Description
I know it’s a minuscule sample size, but Murphy has looked excellent since returning from injury. He’s playing some excellent defense with Olli Maatta (who hasn’t looked bad himself) and is proving why he is such an important part of this team. The team we’ve watched over the last 5 games is the team that we imagined in the summer when we actually invested in the defensive side of the puck and I can’t wait to see how far this goes.

Murphy is quickly becoming one of my favorite players. Seems to be filling the role that Hjammer left when he was traded. So glad he's with us.

Murphy was the best defender prior to getting injured based on a shots and high danger chances and has been again since returning the last 2 games. He's one of the most underrated players in the NHL.

I’m definitely in favor of holding onto Murphy and trading Gus and maatta if need be. Murphy is actually hitting his stride. I have to bring up, again, this team is playing a style eerily similar to the 2010 hawks. This run and gun, while it does give some chances, opens up even more for the hawks. It’s awesome to watch and even if/when we do lose, you know the team is fighting and grinding. I love it, the effort is great top to bottom.

He has been looking like a bonafide top pairing guy this season. His awareness and decision making is off the charts

I have stated before Murphy has been a tower of consistently since arriving from Arizona. He is a calming effect on the blueline. His value can be best illustrated when he injured at the start of season last year, and the team played better after his return.
