A thuggish organization through and through

by Alexander Dubcek on May 15, 2009 6:39 PM PDT

In case you haven't seen it from Kukla's Korner, Ducks GM Bob Murray took out his frustrations over last night's loss on a poor, unsuspecting stage manager.

While the players were on the ice exchanging handshakes, high above in an executive suite Ducks General Manager Bob Murray was seething over the controversial goal that ended his team's quest for the Stanley Cup.

A Detroit Police report lead to an assault investigation involving Murray. An upset and angry Murray, the report notes, picked up a high bar stool and hit 55-year-old Rachel Paris on the left chest, arm and shoulder area. She was treated by first aid personnel and interviewed by police.

Paris said in a phone interview she was in the press box working as a stage manager for a media outlet that she would not identify. A passionate Red Wings fan, Paris said Murray was apparently upset over her enthusiasm and used a stool on her to express his displeasure.

"I was taken to the boards by Bob Murray and survived the hit. I felt like I was cross-checked and I didn't even have the puck," said Paris.

Stay classy, Anaheim.

You think that's surprising?

When I saw the article on ESPN I laughed.

“I was taken to the boards by Bob Murray and survived the hit. I felt like I was cross-checked and I didn’t even have the puck,” said Paris.

really lady? a bit over dramatic don’t you think?

I dislike the Ducks as much as the next guy, but I envision the incident more as Murray taking out his frustrations on the chair and not so much some old lady.

Yeah the way it was described had me thinking “bullshit” the whole time.

Nobody cares about your opinion.

I miss the days when GMs regularly threw chairs in the press box. This lady would never have survived in Ron Caron’s day.
