Why he might be annoying:

His nickname is 'Murph.'
He bounced around between the Blues, Rangers and minors in his first few NHL seasons, before landing a permanent home with the Kings.

Some hockey pundits felt his playing career didn't get a lot of recognition due to the fact he played on the West Coast.
He was fired 27 games into his first full season as the Kings head coach.
He was the scapegoat of the Maple Leafs failures during his tenure as head coach, when in reality he inherited a bad team already in decline.
