Some pretty revealing comments from Bryan Murray today about his managing philosophy. He's looking for more players to go to the net and he says that so far only Cheechoo and Michalek, the players he got in the summer for Dany Heatley, are doing so.
Seems odd, if that's what we're going for here, that we would go out this summer and sign Alex Kovalev to $10 million deal for two years, especially considering his penchant for doing all kinds of great things everywhere but between the hash marks and the net.
Given the downward trajectory that this team has been on since they made the cup final in 2007 has almost directly mirrored Murray's tenure as general manager, at some point we're going to have to start asking whether these kinds of decisions make sense.
I'm willing to accept the possibility that a lot of the problems we're experiencing right now is because of some of the poor decisions Muckler made, the least of which was selling the farm and scouting system down the river while he was here.
But at least he got results. And Murray's excuses are quickly running out.
Game tonight
Oh and by the way he's still in love with the Canadiens. Just what you want to hear the day he's about to suit up against his old team.
Hopefully Cheechoo keeps up his good play as well.
