from Don Brennan of the Ottawa Sun,
“Obviously, there was a real slide in a lot of in areas,” Murray said, when asked how his team could go from being so good to so bad over the course of 10 months. “I think injuries were a part of it. I think discipline was part of it. I think fatigue, to a point.
“Talking to a couple of the main guys on our team yesterday, they felt that the hangover from the long run and very short summer (was a factor). I had a couple of players tell me that they would go home after practice and sleep for three hours, then get up, eat dinner and go back to bed early at night. They were really that played out.
“We don’t think of that, I don’t think of that ... (but) there’s no dynasties any more,” Murray said. “The competitive balance now, the pressure now, lots of things catch up to young people.”
