So Terry Murray is the next coach in LA. Dean Lombardi is familiar with Murray from the time they worked together in Philadelphia. An interesting choice and someone who basically flew in under the radar.
I suspect that the Isles next choice will be a questionable one. The move to let Ted Nolan go over "philosophical differences" leaves a pungent smell in the air. Nolan got a great deal out of a team that was gutted last year and it looks like it will be a long time before he gets another chance behind an NHL bench. Too bad. The Isles' loss in my opinion and I suspect that Garth Snow will go with a coach who will not challenge him as GM. Read: it ain't gonna be Quenneville, Dale Hunter or Randy Cunneyworth. Paul Maurice, Bob Hartley and John Tortorella have been bandied about and their profiles would fit Snow's (lack of?) game plan.
