Earlier today, Ducks Executive Vice President and General Manager Bob Murray introduced Randy Carlyle as the club’s new head coach. Carlyle, who last coached for the Toronto Maple Leafs from 2011-15, returns to Anaheim as the team’s all-time winningest head coach, earning a 273-182-61 record from 2005-11. He also won a club-record 36 playoff games during his Anaheim tenure, made two trips to the Conference Finals (2006 & 2007) and become the first coach to lead a California team to the Stanley Cup (2007).
Opening remarks
Bob Murray: Six weeks ago we talked, and since that time we set out in search of a coach.
