"Break time is over boys." Is I think what the message was basically ;)
ST. LOUIS -- The morning skate on NHL game day is usually a time for players to stretch their legs. New St. Louis Blues coach Andy Murray had them sweating for 45 minutes.

"He addressed about six different things," team president John Davidson said Tuesday. "It was 100 mph. It was fast. It was organized. They didn't even stop for a water break, I don't think."
From reading the article here: http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/news/story?id=2695460

It certainly seems that there will be sweeping changes a 'comin... and the first sign could be that Schwarz is starting in goal tonight. At the end of the article they mention how they brought in all the veterans this year and Murray is known as a 'rebuilder' better with youth but team president Davidson says: "It's easy for somebody to look at this and say 'Boy, I don't know if he can coach older players,"' Davidson said. "That's not the point. That's not our future."

Tkachuk did not have any water? Weight? Hmmm Tkachuk and Weight in the same line. :-k

Trouble is brewing. No way these guys will like Murray, no way, no how. And all this stuff about him being great for kids..ummm yeah, the Kings guys like Dustin Brown and Mike Camalleri are lights out.

Not sure about Andy with the old guys, but my guess is they are all outta there anyway. Schwarz is a great kid, best of luck to him with all that help in front of him.

My guess is that by next year you won't even be able to recogzine the lineup; I think they are gunna dun blowed it up real gud. :-D I think the approach with the old guys will be "If you don't like then just approve this trade... or feel free to get on the phone and work out your own deal" ;)
