Yesterday was a sad day in the NHL as Bryan Murray died from cancer.
Murray wasn’t out of work long as he was hired by the Detroit Red Wings at the start of the 1990-91 season as head coach and general manager where he spent three seasons behind the bench. Murray led the Red Wings to the playoffs three straight seasons, but never past the second round and following the 1992-93 season was replaced by Scotty Bowman behind the bench. Murray remained in Detroit as general manager for the 1993-94 season.
After being relieved of his duties in Detroit, Murray was quickly back at work being named the Florida Panthers general manager in August 1994.
