Option 2:

Ty Murphy is a magician in the sense of setting up his teammates.  Every time the puck touches his stick he is looking to sauce that bad boy over to a teammate to set up a nice tap in goal.  He is better than just passing the puck though.  The way he carries the puck allows his teammates to set up in perfect positions to receive the pass.  With the opposing team paying so much attention to Murphy, their defensive system has a tendency to lapse slightly.  Much like the Deacon Jones headslap, a moment is all Murphy needs to fit that puck through a small window right on the stick of a teammate.  Once its there, his job is done.  His linemates point totals are through the roof and he gets his assists.  Haven't you heard?  Assists are more valuable than goals anyway.  Live in the now.  Get assists instead of goals.
