Love Paul's response to being asked about Cooper. Classy way to handle getting chirped back at.
Tampa is trash. Point blank
@1:51 He was watching the “Senators game”. Anyone else catch that subtle dig at Leafs Nation? Maybe we deserve it after last night.
Never change a winning team Same in all team sports worldwide. Eckland was terrible and dragged Gus down with him In game 2 defence was a brick wall
Need the defense to show up can’t have -4 from Gus and Ekky again
Tampa bay fan of 30 years here. I like this coach. I should watch more of this media talks. The way he responds, grins. Very relatable. Florida has two great coaches and two great teams. I hope the cup stays in Florida. Everyone enjoy the ride. Regardless of who wins.
Yohe!
DO NOT FUCK WITH WHAT WINS, WTF, keep is simple stupid. you screwed the lines up and the loss was on the coach this one.
"i'm not sure it was applicable to the events on the ice" …it was. he didn't have the puck. for a few seconds.
Florida is the dirtiest team in the league and he had the comment about Tampa after last game, come on.
Tkachuk, Bennett, Marchand
Let's be honest about #5 . He SUCKED lol .
Hopefully, he figures out the lineup because, in my opinion, he lost the game for the Panthers bringing Ekblad in and bringing down one of our hottest players, Sam samoskevich.
Wonder what he will say when one pf the dirty trio on the panthers takes a run at hagel
Not a panthers fan, but that dude is crazy.
His humour, his hockey knowledge and how he motivates the team is just next level.
So softly spoken in these interviews but whatch him go hard voice behind the bench – crazy.
Bruins fan here, Paul Maurice is by far the best coach in the entire NHL. His players are always playing hard fundamentally sound hockey. He deploys the best forechecking system in hockey his teams are relentless they come at you in waves. I admit as a Bruins fan I'm jealous of the way he gets his teams to play the game. Its the right way. There's no coasters and floaters on his teams EVER!!
Lightning in 7
WHAT A CLOWN BOZO
Best coach currently, no matter what happens he’s shown he is a warrior inside and out
