Terry Murray Joins Jesters

On Thursday, the Los Angeles Kings hired Coach Terry Murray. According to General Manager Dean Lombardi, Murray’s chore is complex. “When you're in a rebuilding process, you have to keep your eyes on two things: What's in front of you, and where you want to go,” said Lombardi. “If you have a very good team in place, it's easy to focus on the next game. When you're dealing with young players, it changes day-to-day, week-to-week, month-to-month. That's what I mean about the difficulty of the job. I think what I mean when I say the toughest job is it's more multitasking. We want to put together a nucleus that can stick together. Sometimes there's no good or bad coaches, it's right fit. The No. 1 thing is that getting young is a process. He's been through the process.”

During his career, Murray has amassed a 360-288-89 record. He is an exemplary coach. Unfortunately, Marc Crawford failed. Murray will also.
