Thread: Murrays name petitioned for the cup

Veteran NHL coach Terry Murray returning behind the bench with the Adirondack Phantoms - ESPN

Pretty cool gesture by the Kings, NHL denied though

...and Brayden Schenn's plan to lead the AHL in scoring, is foiled

i actually laughed here at my computer.

Kinda weird that they petitioned for him and not Loktionov...

Not that I felt either should have been on there...but still. At least Loktionov is still on the team.

"Hey Terry, we put in a request to get your name on the Stanley Cup! You're going to be on the STANLEY CUP!"

















"I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the NHL denied our request. Sorry, you won't be on the Stanley Cup. We tried."

I know exactly what will happen during that first practice - get out the black spray paint, Terry.

Well, without TM's leaving Kings don't make the playoffs much less win the cup -- so he should be on there but upside down.

Yeah, but his plan of being an overall BETTER NHL player may not be. See Kopitar, Anze.

I get where you're coming from, but that would be typical backwards thinking by the Flyers. Aren't the Phantoms supposed to run the same system as the Flyers? Murray can try and instill a more defensive way of thinking into his young players, but it's still Laviolette's offense first system they'll be running. By the time there are enough AHL graduates who learned under Murray make the bigs, it could be years from now. Besides, remember back when Simmonds was responsible defensively? Then his last year here he regressed when given more offensive opportunities and now it appears he's forgotten all of Murray's tutelage in one season under Laviolette. Flyer fans don't speak highly of his defense and Wayne somehow managed to go -3 versus the Penguins. That's Jack Johnsonesque!.
