St. Louis Dispatch: Andy Murray Goes Ballistic

A day after the Blues’ 3-0 loss to Vancouver, television highlights continued to focus on the postgame tirade of head coach Andy Murray on the team’s bench.

Murray was incensed because after Vancouver scored its empty-net goal, Canucks coach Alain Vigneault put his physical fourth line of Darcy Hordichuk, Ryan Johnson and Rick Rypien on the ice.

Murray, meanwhile, had sent out David Perron, T.J. Oshie and Patrik Berglund.

“I didn’t particularly like the line that (Vigneault) sent out,” Murray said. “I could have sent out Brad Winchester and B.J. Crombeen. We were alerted by the league that there’s no messages to be sent at the end of the game.”

Murray was witnessed screaming at Vigneault from the Blues’ bench, telling the Canucks’ coach to “Use your head … Use your head.”
