Murray is literally in the fight of his life and the Senators have given him a reason to believe that something grander is at work right now.

"No question," he said. "If you have to go through this **** you might as well enjoy it with a group like this as well."

The 72-year-old is locked in the kind of battle that makes a playoff race seem meaningless. With Stage 4 colon cancer, Murray doesn't know how long he has to live.

However, the Senators architect says he's drawn inspiration from his team's inspired performance over the last several weeks -- an emotional roller-coaster that hit a crescendo Tuesday when it fell behind Pittsburgh 3-0, only to rally for a 4-3 overtime victory.

"It's a little stressful," said Murray. "After the first period I was ready to fire everybody, but they played hard."

It would be absolutely awesome if we could make it into the playoffs and do something great for Murray. As good as any Hollywood movie. Even if we don't make the playoffs and heaven forbid this is Murray's last season, he will know that he did a phenomenal job and left the Sens in a great spot.

Terrific article.
I have found it really classy how this hasn't been turned into a huge media focus- like everyone knows about it but its not always about 'win it for BM', everyone seems to just be loose and having fun
