Bryan Murray speaks on the Fan 590

I agree - Leeder has transferred much of his other responsibility to other staff (e.g. Bell Capital Cup, etc) so he would be the logical choice.

It already has. They're working their arses off under Clouston in practices, but it'll take some time before they can start playing game in and game out with full endurance.

Leave it to Clouston, he'll have them hopping I would imagine. If there's one thing he isn't, it's a loser. He'll want them to report in to training camp in optimum condition. And if you're not, I have a feeling you'll be in trouble.

Interesting comment about conditioning and that Clouston said they were out of shape - I remember Harsty saying the same thing and that he would run them hard to get 'em back in shape. Guess that didn't work either.

Very interesting.

All those times the Sens came back in the 3rd is proof that their conditioning has already improved dramatically. BC (before Clouston) they had a horrible record when not scoring 1st.

That's an interesting point as well. The comebacks have a lot to do with that for sure.

I remember that as well. Bottom line, these guys have been left alone too long. There are guys that are gonna kill it in the gym no matter what like Alfie, A-Train, Kelly etc., but obviously the other guys need to be pushed hard both in practise and off-ice.

I think we have the coach to do that...
