Newton's third law of motion states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Newton never met Douglas Murray.
When a man hits Douglas Murray, Murray remains unmoved. The force of his colliding with this massive wall of humanity sends him sprawling across half the ice, to land dazed and confused somewhere between here and next Tuesday. You do not hit Douglas Murray, Douglas Murray hits you.
Rumor has it he's made of brick or adamantium. Others say he's really Hercules, making a living by hiding his gifts of strength in plain sight. It's entirely possible that Douglas Murray is the real man of steel. His only weakness appears to be long waits for beer, which is why he invented the Uber Tap. He'll never have to endure another long, agonizing wait for a beer again. Well, ok, that and hot blondes.
Maybe you're wondering how a Swedish guy gets a name like Douglas. Well, Douglas' mom wanted to be a little different, and gave all her children Scottish or English names, reflecting some of the family's Scottish heritage. Just don't call him Doug. It sounds like "dog" and that might get you checked into next week. By his mom.
Perhaps known most infamously for getting a game misconduct in the 2008 after checking Alexei Morozov so hard, (The hit comes at about the 32-33 second mark. Douglas is wearing number 2.) he was taken out of the game. I suspect Morozov just wasn't expecting to be hit by a bus that day.
Look for more hard hits from Murray come Olympic time. It's what Douglas does best. He's not a goal scorer, and he's not the fastest guy on a team, but he's a hard hitting D man who will work hard to keep his guys safe.
Douglas Murray, Team Sweden's brick wall.
