Had to happen. Love Tim. Very good news to offset yesterday a bit.

What if Murray was holding out re-signing Ristolainen as a negotiating ploy for his own contract???

That photo is magnificent!

Agreed! Patty didn't stay around but he hired the right guy! Big step forward this year!

i've literally never heard a Tim Murray interview where he hasn't mentioned going out for beers or 'buying a round'... love it!

Yay! Congrats Tim Murray.

He definitely earned this extension. Glad he will be around for a while. I really want to see him complete his vision on the ice. The players all seem to have tons of confidence in him too, which is huge. I've heard multiple times now that the players feel like they're building something very special here and they feel they have a chance to truly win a Cup. Guys only buy in like that when they have faith in the way the team is being run.

Ask around the Key and it won't surprise you


Sensible, I guess. Would have preferred to see results first

It's financial security, not job security. If the desire is there to replace him, he'll be replaced.

I seem to remember one executive saying over the summer that one of the most important lessons he's learned is to not hang out with GMTM after dark

I have this vision that Tim Murray is like Ron Swanson when he drinks now

It's true. The O'Reilly deal was agreed upon at 3AM after a night of drinking. It was written on a napkin.

Fine by me. I've liked what he's done for the most part.

 

[couture23]

Tim Murray-esque photo op there.

 

[Sabre Dance]

I'm not really sure what people like about him? He has done nothing.

 

[Puddy]

I am hoping that is a chair leg in the photo.

Terrible news. Pegula has done a good job of surrounding himself with losers, and Tim Murray is no different. Literally. Only thing he's been successful at is losing. Silver lining here is that Pegulla has also made a habit out of extending people and then replacing them soon after, so fingers crossed.

You can dislike him if you want. But saying he's done nothing doesn't even make sense.

Of course it's not true. Dumb statement to elicit a reply. Haters gonna hate.

 

[Afino]

He has done nothing.

can you even say that with a straight face?

 

[dmband]

can you even say that with a straight face?

What has he done? Injuries not his fault but what has he done? They are 20th best team healthy and 30h best tonight. Why would you extend him.

 

[JOVIS*]

he's done a lot, the question is how much of it is any good? He is a striaght shoot and gives good interviews....other than that we have had ZERO results. Team still looks like the tank teams on the ice. There was no reason to extend him. Not our money though. Terry can still fire him any time he sees fit
