Not certain if Murphy was just hurt or whether it was Q putting him through the grinder for whatever reason. But he, so far, looks like he has top-4 potential at least.

He and Dahlstrom are a 7-8 on a real NHL team...on the hawks they are 2nd pair. As usual, the king of hyperbole. They have been very good, and facing top competition. Remind me a lot of Hammer/Oduya together. Watch the game sometime. Holy fuck...oduya sucked and was twice as good as either of those clods...Hammer? Dude...seriously...he was the best defensive dman in the league...there is simply no comparison.

Dahlstrom and Murphy are 5th and 6th in ice time among D...a real shut down pair...jesus fuck.

You forget Jimmy hated Hammer/Oduya. Murphy/Dahlstrom is not there yet, but at least Murph is a top 4 d-man for sure. Just his size and mobility make him an interesting specimen, but he's good with the puck too. And has decent hockey IQ and positioning. He's just not very bold or gutsy just yet. There's another step to take to become a top pair d-man, where you are not afraid of mistakes and just challenge all comers. Oduya fucking sucked...Hammer was the best defensive dman in the league and a fucking warrior...but sure...keep making shit up.

Obviously nobody is saying either of these guys are even CLOSE to being as good as Hammer. I just said the PAIRING reminds me of them. They are eating up tough minutes, making the safe plays, winning their matchups, and, maybe most importantly, giving the rest of the D easier matchups. Gus has been killing it since Murphy came back, now that he's not having to play shutdown minutes the whole game. He's almost at a PPG clip over his last 20 games.
Dahlstrom is +5 and Murphy +6. Playing against top competition. This is very good.

The Dahlstrom and Murphy pairing has been good. Hopefully they get better over the next couple of years together as they build chemistry. That's something that Hammer and Oduya certainly had. Must have been the exchange of swedish meatball recipes that made them so compatible.

Must have been the exchange of swedish meatball recipes that made them so compatible. Swedes know that nothing creates a bond between two men like tasting each other's balls. Oduya's balls were always a little more brown than Hammer's, too, so there was always that peculiarity to explore.

Good food, great language (that we share), lovely people, slightly gay but it's 2019 so it's okay. Unlike the Norwegians. Nobody bloody likes them. Fuck them.
