catastrophically bad is a bit of an exaggeration bud. Jimmy Howard is having a catastrophic season and murray has been way better. he has also shown signs of turning his game around again. His last couple starts have been great if you havent been watching
He has seemed to possibly turn a corner, but here's the stretch of play this was based on:

11 games in a row, sub .900 in 9 of them. Sub .910 in 10 out of 11. That's a horrible stretch of play for any goalie.
With two more games since this post was made, yeah, his numbers look to maybe be on the up, but I don't think saying he was having a disasterous season was out of line when I made the comment.
