Murray, on goalies

By Rich Hammond on September 21, 2008 2:40 PM | | Comments (1) |

Here's what Terry Murray had to say about his goalie situation, and the fact that he has eight (eight!) goalies in camp...

-----

Question: Have you ever, as a coach, had eight goalies in camp before?

MURRAY: You know, I don't think I have ever had eight goalies in camp before. It works good. We have four teams, so each one gets a break and each one gets an opportunity to get their work done. It's great to have that kind of competition, not only for the big club but for the American League team, Manchester. It's healthy, it's good, it pushes people to another level.

Question: Have you thought about how you will manage them in all the preseason games?

MURRAY: I haven't really got a handle on that yet. I'm going to have to spend some time with Bill Ranford, to get some feedback from him. The two NHL games in one day, certainly you're going to get four guys playing right away. I don't know if all eight are deserving of the chance to play in an NHL game. I still have to see that and figure that out. With the help of the other coaches, we'll make the right decision on that.
