Report: Lombardi apologizes to Murphy

According to Mike Brophy of Sportsnet, Dean Lombardi apologized to NHL vice president Mike Murphy for his comments last night, in which he essentially accused Murphy of being personally biased against the Kings in goal-review calls.

“I called Mike Murphy and apologized first thing this morning,” Lombardi told Brophy. “He was very professional and a bigger man than me.”
