Bryan Murray Today

06/01/07 at 12:02 AM ET | Comments (0)

Q. Bryan, you and your players have talked a lot the last couple of days about how you feel the Ducks are holding you up and making it difficult to create a forecheck. According to the rules, it shouldn’t be happening that way. I wonder if, big picture, do you see this as a problem for the NHL?
COACH BRYAN MURRAY: No, actually, I said after the game last night to the coaching staff, I thought the way they played and the way we played was better and different. I didn’t think there was much holdup last night. I thought both referees did a real good job, and I really did. I felt that the players decided the game last night. Anaheim over the course of the game played better than we did.

Ducks On A Business Trip

Blog: KK Hockey By Paul

05/31/07 at 10:59 PM ET | Comments (0)

from the AP via the NY Post,

“Knowing the intensity and the atmosphere that’s created in Canadian cities with the culture of the game, we thought it was in our best interests that we moved and got away from downtown,” coach Randy Carlyle said. “We think it’s time to focus. We can sacrifice our interaction with the public and focus on the task at hand.”
In other words, this is a business trip for a determined Anaheim team that holds a 2-0 lead over the Senators in the best-of-seven Stanley Cup finals, which resume at Ottawa on Saturday night.
The resort - about a 30-minute drive from Scotiabank Place - also happens to have its share of good luck. It’s the same place the New Jersey Devils stayed when they eliminated Ottawa in seven games in the 2003 Eastern Conference finals.

Thanks again to WDFN for giving us season-long exclusive first rights to every Thursday interview with the winner of the Norelco Cold-FX Ponds Hand Cream Award For Leadership Of An Organ-I-zation Brought To You By Mark Messier and Depends.

Cheli on WDFN.

And speaking of Chelios, man…new Wing blogger Jeremiah at All Things Red Wings is announcing his presence with authority. Today, or maybe it was yesterday…what day is it today?, he posted an in-depth look at the year of Chelios. And, I’ll admit, he hit on a key I hadn’t mentioned yet…Chelios’ LEADERSHIP of the Players’ Union.

Read it here. Good stuff.

Looking For Inspiration

Blog: KK Hockey By Paul

05/31/07 at 07:38 PM ET | Comments (0)

from the AP via MSNBC,

The Ottawa Senators need a big change in a hurry. They could start by remembering the inspirational words of Roger Neilson.
The NHL’s “Captain Video,’’ for pioneering the use of game video as a coaching technique, and a hockey Hall of Famer, Neilson’s presence is still held in high regard in Ottawa four years since the Senators assistant coach died after a long battle with cancer. There’s a portrait of Neilson that hangs in the Senators assistant coach’s box at Scotiabank Place, and another one in the players’ room.

Why We Should Care About The NHLPA

Blog: KK Hockey By Paul

from Adam Proteau of the Hockey News,

You hear it all the time in hockey circles: Who really cares about the never-ending drama at the NHL Players’ Association?
Well, I do, for more than a few reasons. But here’s a good example why fans should be interested in a strong, healthy players’ union:
You know the Nashville Predators? The franchise that almost assuredly will be relocating sometime in the next couple years? Yeah, them.

“Out” Everything

Blog: KK Hockey By Paul

05/31/07 at 02:32 PM ET | Comments (0)

from Scott Burnside at ESPN,

Somehow, in the wake of these two games, the space between these two teams seems much, much greater than the difference on the score sheet.
With all excuses about a long layoff and poor officiating stripped away in Game 2, the Senators were once again outmatched in every meaningful element of the game.
Outhit, outworked, outchanced and outshot. They keep this up and it’ll soon just be “out.”

from Mike Chen’s Hockey Blog,

Thanks to my FoxSports.com gig, I’ll be following up my post-playoff analysis of the Sharks with an interview with GM Doug Wilson (thanks also to the Sharks media relations folks for helping to set this up and PJ from Sharkspage). This is where you, the reader, comes in. I’m going to arm myself with questions from fans, so if you’ve got a question for Doug, leave it here in the comments.

from A2Y,

Look. I’m biased. Biased for Chelios? No. I think what he did was wrong, and I think he should have shook hands...even with Pronger, Niedermayer and that punk Perry. I’m biased against Dwayne Klessel, his self promotion, and the crap he continues to spew. His comment, “we’ve had our disagreements” is a prime example. Want more? Let me remind you. He’s claimed affilitation with NHL teams, the league itself...all false, and all to lure money from the simple minded.... On too many occasions Klessel has attempted to speak for the rest of us, behind the anonymity of a made-up name “for his own protection.” Another crock.
