Question: You talked about the need to change the culture here, which is something Dean has talked a lot about also. Is there a formula to that? Can you sit

Default Murray, on leadership (ITK)

Question: You talked about the need to change the culture here, which is something Dean has talked a lot about also. Is there a formula to that? Can you sit down, from day one, and say, `This is what needs to change'? Or is it just a slow process?

MURRAY: It is a process, there's no doubt, but there can be changes. I don't want to get into comparing what I'm going to do to what has happened here. That's not the right thing and I don't deal that way. I don't want to talk about that stuff, because everybody has their own way. There's lots of different styles and systems and philosophies, in all sports, that do and don't work. But when it comes to changing a culture, you're dealing with people. You're dealing with people and their habits and how they think and how they act. Putting rules in place and holding players accountable are the immediate things that you can do as a coach. There is a standard of play, there is a standard of professionalism that you put in place as a new coach coming in. That's the beginning of it, and then you just work from there. Then you get on the ice and you put your system in place and your style of play in place and, again, you hold players accountable in all those different areas, to show that we're professionals, we're a professional hockey team. We want to build this thing from where we are today to get to a point where we can compete at a high level and be a successful franchise.
