Nothing really notable, just interesting to hear from him again and get his perspective.

“Again, the scoring for L.A. is starting to come. They’re starting to get timely goals. That was something that I just couldn’t get it going. The power play didn’t click. In any given game, if we had just been able to score one or two power-play goals, it would have been a `W’ and I’d still be coaching the team. It was that fine of a line. It’s just a young group of guys in L.A. right now that have to get themselves healthy and get some real good confidence in themselves, and it will come together. It’s a great group, a great leadership group. It’s a very strong dressing room. I really like what’s gone on there, during my time there, and they’re just continuing to build on it. I think that the L.A. Kings could become a team to reckon with as they move through the rest of this year.’’

I think most people agree that his time had come with the LA Kings.
That said, I thought it was pretty sad how some people trashed this guy and everything he did for the Kings, which was ALOT. I think if this core ever discovers some success they will owe alot of it to him and I wish he would get the credit and respect that he deserves.
That was a really nice interview. We owe him a lot for getting the Kings to a higher level and hopefully he will get the chance to help out another struggling team.

Terry, thank you and good luck to you!
If Kopitar ever wins a Selke the first guy he should thank is Murray.

Firstly, these "all people" are only some of the fans.
Secondly, all players and staff spoke nicely of him and Kopitar already thanked Murray for helping him become a better player.

I wasn't trying to imply that Kopitar had shown any disrespect toward Murray. Just saying that Murray is probably the person/coach that most improved his game on the defensive side of the puck.
Oh, ok. Yeah, I definitely agree. The guy was absolutely clueless about defensive play before TM took over. He suffered during the transition, that was obvious. He looked more lost than ever before or after.

absolutely.... the Blue Jackets would be smart to hire him - that's a nearly perfect situation for him. Youngish team with a couple of stars and no defensive structure at all. (Sorry, Damacles didn't see your post!)

Reason: mythologic appeal
Their defense sucks though, and they won't win anything until they address that issue.
Which is why logically he would be good for them....if he can figure out how to build them up defensively without destroying them offensively. If he can't manage that, TM is an extinct species in today's NHL.
