It has often been said that Terry Murray is perhaps the most even-keel coach in the NHL. Perhaps that’s what the Kings need right now? They came off a tough loss and squandered a chance to take a big lead in this series, and now they have to go into one of the toughest environments in the NHL and avoid falling into a 3-2 series hole. Murray talked about maintaining that even-keel attitude, and whether it’s more difficult to accomplish after a loss than it is after a win…

MURRAY: “Yeah, it is, especially with a young group of guys. You could really sense it, when I walked into the locker room last night, that it was a very difficult one to deal with. But, as a team, you’ve got to go through it together. Veteran players need to step up here and say a few things. The leadership group is a part of this thing. They’ve all been through a lot of these battles before, and it’s an important time for them to be a part of it.”
