The following article featuring former Cornell standout Douglas Murray appeared April 17 on the San Jose Sharks Web site.

He played a massive role in the Sharks Game Four victory over Calgary in the Western Conference Quarterfinals on Tuesday, as it was his blast from the blueline that Joe Thornton tipped home with 10 seconds remaining.

"There isn't much you can do with him," said Captain Patrick Marleau, who's challenged by Murray every day in practice. "He braces himself really well."
