from Eric Stephens of Ducks Blog,
In supporting the eight-game suspension of defenseman James Wisniewski late Thursday afternoon, Ducks GM Bob Murray said his player “crossed the line” with his hit on Chicago’s Brent Seabrook in Wednesday’s night game at Honda Center.
But Murray also took issue with Wisniewski’s punishment of eight games as handed down by NHL disciplinarian Colin Campbell following a morning hearing with the parties involved.
“First of all, we love the way Wiz plays and we want him to play the game hard,” Murray said. ”That’s how he has to play and he’s very effective doing that. In this instance, he crossed the line. He went too far and he knows he was going to get suspended. I applaud the league cracking down on these things.”
This via Pierre LeBrun’s Twitter,
Ducks GM Bob Murray just now on Quenneville: ``I strongly suggest Joel worries about his goaltending and stops trying to run the NHL.”
added 8:16pm, this from Chis Kuc’s Twitter,
More from Ducks GM Bob Murray: “I played in Chicago a long time. ... It used to be a black-and-blue town. It didn’t have whiners.”

No, Murray should have gotten up and thrown at anyone who disagreed.

And I strongly suggest Murray pays more attention to his*own* team… you know, the one that’s about to miss the playoffs altogether. The one he retooled? Yeah, that one. Bang up job there, Bob….

The only problem I have with this suspension is that there have been a sizable handful of just as dangerous plays this year that didn’t result in 8 game suspensions. No consistency. It’s foolish.

Murray should have stopped at the first paragraph there. He comes across as a whiner himself as he continues.
