Murray hopes return will spark Sens
via Canadian Press:
“It doesn’t matter who the new guy is that takes over,” Murray said after a short skate ahead of Thursday night’s game against the Flyers. “There are people who worry about where they fit. I just wanted them to all know that this is our hockey team, this is a good hockey team.”
Murray fired John Paddock on Wednesday with only 18 games left in a season that is in danger of falling apart despite a 15-2 start. Murray, who led the Senators last season to their first appearance in the Stanley Cup final, returns to the coaching bench for the remainder of the season.
“I read somewhere where people said I was waiting for this happen. It’s the opposite,” Murray said. “I had a great run at coaching and was very happy in the role I had.”
Murray felt he had to make the move after describing the Senators as a “very passive group” over a stretch where they lost six of eight and 14 of 21.
