Prompt 1

The classic playoff moves that rouse the crowd up are what Murdock lives for. 1st shift, set the tone, lay the body. The first big hit in a playoff game carries a different weight than a regular season hit. Similarly, a good blocked shot at any strength, but especially on the penalty kill, riles everyone up. It's those kinds of plays that are condusive to winning and exciting for the fans that Murdock wants to commit to--none of that "I'm gonna do everything myself," get outside of your game stuff. To quote High School Musical, you can't "be afraid to shoot the outside J, (uh) get your head in the game." Don't extend beyond your means. Just live life.

The other exciting play that happens in playoffs is one Murdock doesn't really want to be associated with. It's when the 3rd line grinder, 3rd pairing fighting d-man scores a big goal. Think Brooks Orpik or any similar stay at home guy coming around and scoring. Those guys scoring is what legends are made of. Naturally Murdock doesn't want to be considered a "surprise" contributor to a cup victory but at the same time who doesn't want to be remembered in the history books forever?
