And that's probably including the half hour he spent looking for game highlights before replying.

Murray was ejected from Sweden's 3-2 loss to Russia on Saturday.  

"It was perfectly clean", says Murray. "Maybe it could have been an interference call but that's it. It was a clean shoulder, not even close to be from behind"

Douglas Murray and Iggy might not be having a completely "restful" offseason. The Sharks fired Coach Ron Wilson today. Given how the Sharks exited the playoffs, it is not all that surprising.

It will be interesting to see who the Sharks hire as the new coach and if Murray will still fit in with the Sharks organization.

Pat Burns and Joel Quenneville both on the market right now as potential replacements.

My vote goes to Kevin Dineen of the Portland Pirates right now though.  Take a look at what this guy has done out in Portland, knocking off a few Cornell Alum in Hartford and Providence this post-season.  With Buffalo coming in to replace Anaheim as Portland's affiliate, he will be looking for NHL work, and Toronto, Colorado, Ottawa, and San Jose all will be chasing this guy.

I think Murray will be a constant in the San Jose organization for awhile. no matter how fast the game gets, a team will always need big, physical defense men. Murray has proven to be one of the best (if not the best) on that team defensively.

Ooooh Kevin Dineen :).
Well if the Sharks are looking for more "grit and intensity", Kevin Dineen defines those qualities. I remember him when he was playing with the Hartford Whalers back in the mid 80's (and even met him a few times). He stuck in the NHL because he would go in the corners and sacrifice his body in front of the net.

It would be nice to see a younger coach (NHL assistant or AHL Head Coach) get a chance rather than see some of the same coaches change mailing addresses.

Looks like the Abbotts will be playing together again next, this time in Sweden: Rögle (Scroll down to 4/22/08)

Rögle will be competing in the Swedish Elite League for the first time in 12 years next season after earning promotion from the second-tier league.


Quote from: Google TranslationSportchef Roger Hansson announces to Nätmagasinet to the Canadian twins Christen and Cameron Abbott is ready for games in Rögle BK 2008-09.
    The two played together in the Norwegian Frisk Asker the past season with great success.
    -- I was and looked at them in Frisk Asker and there are two guys with good attitude to hockeyn. Two winners who are good skridskoåkare and spreading a lot of energy.
    This has made it clear Rögle with their non-EU player before returning to Elitserien.
    -- Time will tell how much the conversion will be between Norwegian and Swedish Elitserien league, but I am confident that Chris and Cam has all the prerequisites to be successful in Rögle, "says Roger Hansson.
    Chris is described as a högerfattad center, which is used to control the game on powerplay, while Cam is a ytterforward who are skilled in the game around the sarge.

Högerfattad. Not sure what that translates to, but is sounds really mean and bruising :).

Hahaha...you guys are funny.

I'm not expert on the Swedish language, but I believe högerfattad means right-handed, and "ytterforward who are skilled in the game around the sarge" means he is a winger who plays well on the boards.
