Is he? Then why has the locker room in every team he's ever coached been horrifically toxic by the time he left?

Maybe because there weren't any grown ups in the room.

I think it's funny that Tom Wilson tore his ACL specifically because he decided against running a Florida player.

Its a good thing pungry has like 20 other teams to fall back on because 7 years of Maurice would age him like that dude from Indiana Jones.

He did that in Pittsburgh too IIRC, I don't remember the details but I'm pretty sure other coaches complained to the league office about it years ago. But it never went anywhere because everyone does it, Murray is just a touch more brazen about it

One of the Stars two Finnish goalies loved messing with the net so that it came off easier too (Niemi?).

I feel like the net always used to come off when Ilya Samsonov played in Washington. I never saw him mess with it but it makes sense that he would be doing the same thing as Murray.

Every so often, I go down a KHL scoring stats rabbit hole and there aren't as many interesting names as usual, though I noticed one name I'd typically see missing and found that Nigel Dawes finally bailed out for the DEL, though he's also:

the fifth leading scorer in KHL history

He was mostly a bottom six guy here but ripped it up in Russia and was 20 points behind Alexander Radulov for fourth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigel_Dawes#Regular_season_and_playoffs

Because Eeli didn't shoot 30% in Nashville and the Preds didn't shoot 18% when he was on the ice. Also somewhat poor management.

Looking at the job he’s done so far in Vancouver, I would agree with him. Stop hiring Jim’s to be your GM

JR sucked after the two cups but two cups is two cups so I would have been okay with him making GBS threads on the conclusion of Crosby and Malkin's careers if he'd wanted to stay.

Not just two cups, but back-to-back cups cementing them as franchise legends and echoing Lemieux

Also their big game changer piece of poo poo from last year has been injured since early November. As of reports today he could be back in about 10 days so we'll see if that changes their fortunes some.

That said... Seattle returned to getting good enough goaltending and shooting 2%+ league average, Calgary is loser pointing their way forward, LA has a fairly healthy lead despite more games played, and don't look now, but Nashville and Colorado are breathing down Edmonton's necks with 3 and 4 games in hand. It's going to take a huge effort and some major collapses for Edmonton to make the playoffs right now.

And Colorado's 4 games in hand are against the Panthers, Blackhawks, Sens, and Red Wings, very good chance of getting some wins there
