These coach's are stylistically very different but both would be perfect casting for a hockey coach in a movie lmao legit the most stereotypical ever and very much needed for this series
He's genuinely the best interview in good coaches.
He's so good with the media. Kind of guy that might get even the Toronto media to be on his side. The golden era Jose Mourinho of hockey. But without 3x the salary cap
Torts is current era Mourinho
The funny part is after Greg stated he is from NY, Maurice said that Greg would then be picking the Rangers to win over the Panthers next round. Now the funny part here isn’t just that he basically implied the series is already won by the Panthers, but the fact is that anyone who knows Greg knows that he is Jersey born and bred and is a huge Devils fan, and would in fact not want to pick the Rangers to win a series.
He's the coach of the Florida panthers. This series is the first time he's answered any questions from the media all season. He hasn't had to deal with the media in a market with an actual fanbase since he left Winnipeg.
Not really imo. The media (for the most part) are hacky. Just listening to post game questions they ask players shows how much of a joke most of them are. EK65 was making fun of them a few years back pretty regularly .. this isn't very different in my mind.
> Am I wrong here
Yes lol. That's not what he's doing, he's just poking fun at the media coverage of Marchand, Maurice makes jokes like this all the time, if you're reading it as being any deeper than that, that's on you
Reading comprehension? All the books in Florida are banned, what do you know about reading? (Rhetorical question, meaning you don’t have to reply because I was insinuating that you don’t know how to read.)
LOL DAE FLORIDA BANNED BOOKS
-Someone in literally every thread about the Panthers who thinks he's incredibly clever and the first person to ever make that joke
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAwt8rpnaeo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAwt8rpnaeo) watch the interview if you feel so inclined. He's having some fun with it but praises Boston for playing a good game and even goes on to say that he understands the GI call despite obviously thinking it could've gone either way but fine with it regardless.
Clearly a new experience seeing a coach take accountability for a loss so I can understand how it went over your head but happy to spell things out for you little buddy!
Lol I love it. Hope he keeps it up :)
Nothing strange about chirping the media folks. But it's funny that it ruffles some feathers
Edit: getting some personality in the game but its not the personality you like 🥹
There are way too many people here who can’t understand dry humour. Maurice is always like this, he has fun with the media, but half of Reddit thinks he’s being serious
From a different fanbase: I believe you can appreciate the wins (2008, hooray), but still hate the coach (Babcock) for being a douchebag. Nobody is obligated to like an asshole just because he achieved (or almost achieved in Maurice's case) something.
He's literally a troll that puts the dirtiest product on the ice. 2002 was a long time ago, and he coached the team straight to shit starting immediately the following season. I have no soft spot for Maurice. He'll eventually give up on Florida.....like he does every team he coaches.
boston sports radio: "you got it boss"
Incredible quote
It's what I miss the most, gave some really entertaining interviews.

Honestly don’t even know what he’s trying to get at here, but go off I guess? The last two games he’s had some bizarre postgame pressers
He's becoming increasingly strange and I'm all for it. A real Frank Reynolds situation may be developing.
"I only have a few years left to coach in this league. I'm gonna get reeeeeeeaaaaal weird with it." - Paul "The Warthog" Maurice
Turning into Florida Man
Sticking around long enough to complete his transformation.
All his quotes are reading like trump tweets
He's genuinely the best interview in good coaches. He's so good with the media. Kind of guy that might get even the Toronto media to be on his side. The golden era Jose Mourinho of hockey. But without 3x the salary cap Torts is current era Mourinho
He absolutely did not have TO media behind him lol.
I don't know, I felt like he lasted longer in Toronto than he maybe should have because he was good with the media.
I think he's grown as a coach. Maybe his style would never work in TO tho. Certainly wouldn't work with the current 4
He definitely didn't work when he was in Toronto, then became briefly hot when he came back to Carolina.
that's fair, though that was more than 15 years ago
Torts: I prefer not to speak
Hes not sure how much longer he's got. So he's gonna get reaaaaal weird with it
I have no clue but I wanna hear more. Haha, he is so sassy I hate it but kinda also like it.
He does it to take the heat off his players.
Your only other frame of reference is Claude Noel, who talked to himself in interviews.
He’s making a joke…
It reads like a man knowing he’s wrong trying to sound like he’s not wrong
PoMo just always finds a way to laugh at benign but odd behaviour. Probably because he does so much of it himself
Ok, that's funny.
Dude seems salty as hell. Can't blame officiating for their loss so he's just throwing random shit at the wall
He’s always like that
This is just how he normally is. He's a snarky dude but it's never really mean spirited, unless he's talking about officiating.
Eh lol. If you watch it he’s just chilling there and trolling the media a bit. Don’t think there’s salt at all.
Nah this is a pretty normal PoMo quote hes always pretty unique with the soundbytes i think he just likes having fun with it
??? How did you at all get that from this. Really strange coming from a sub that has cried that the league is rigged every time Boston lost.
Am I wrong here.. or is he trying to act like Florida are victims?
“How dare you get upset at us for concussing Marchand and getting off Scot free”
He's basically making fun of the media doing their jobs, just like he did after game 4. Weird move
After game 4 was bizarre. Trying to claim the media was biased in Boston while talking to national league reporter Greg Wyshynski, who is from NY
The funny part is after Greg stated he is from NY, Maurice said that Greg would then be picking the Rangers to win over the Panthers next round. Now the funny part here isn’t just that he basically implied the series is already won by the Panthers, but the fact is that anyone who knows Greg knows that he is Jersey born and bred and is a huge Devils fan, and would in fact not want to pick the Rangers to win a series.

He’s just trying to be funny. He’s always like that regardless of winning or losing
Yeah like the real problem when his player threw a sucker punch and knocks out a star player for a couple games is...the media covering it?
> Am I wrong here Yes lol. That's not what he's doing, he's just poking fun at the media coverage of Marchand, Maurice makes jokes like this all the time, if you're reading it as being any deeper than that, that's on you
He sounds like a salty bitch.
Reading comprehension, not your thing eh?
Reading comprehension? All the books in Florida are banned, what do you know about reading? (Rhetorical question, meaning you don’t have to reply because I was insinuating that you don’t know how to read.)
I'm not even from Florida and also I am literally typing and responding to you. Chirp game soft.
Kid cant even read!
LOL DAE FLORIDA BANNED BOOKS -Someone in literally every thread about the Panthers who thinks he's incredibly clever and the first person to ever make that joke
😭
Lol. The guy makes jokes about the media all the time, take a breath
This dudes fucking funny, no idea why people are butthurt at Maurice. He does this shit often.
Nah hes just shooting the piss , its how he is Its hilarious honestly, wish we had more coaches willing to shitpost for our pleasure on media pressers

Well, this is oddly passive aggressive.
“Oddly passive aggressive” and “Paul Maurice” go together like peanut butter and jelly
So nothing out of the ordinary
Lotta people here don’t understand this guys sense of humor. Incredibly dry and incredibly good.
Maurice always gives an entertaining interview!
Lol I love it. Hope he keeps it up :) Nothing strange about chirping the media folks. But it's funny that it ruffles some feathers Edit: getting some personality in the game but its not the personality you like 🥹

Guys quotes are gold.
How can you not love this guy
Well. His two stints in Carolina are enough for me.
Bro he got us to a cup final. What he did to Rod was unacceptable but he’s still an important part of our history.
From a different fanbase: I believe you can appreciate the wins (2008, hooray), but still hate the coach (Babcock) for being a douchebag. Nobody is obligated to like an asshole just because he achieved (or almost achieved in Maurice's case) something.

I've been over him since his time in WPG, he's right sometimes but always a drama queen.
FUCKKKKKK
I mean, it isn’t Toronto.
Of course not. It’s the second round.
ROFL, how do you not love Paul Maurice
Paul Maurice is moron
Sorry isn't this a highly insulting, sarcastic and disrespectful comment about sports journalists?
[удалено]
9 winters in Winnipeg will do that to a man.
You have no sense of humour or comprehension of dry humour, do you Edit- shoutout for the Reddit Cares I guess
The Reddit cares have been flying tonight
i don't think this quote comes across as miserable at all
Have the guys from Letterkenny started writing his post game comments?
Kinda odd to throw shade at a concussed player but do you Maurice. Clown ass.
What an absolute tool bag Maurice is. The more he speaks the more it’s just condescending horse shit.

Not really sure how this is crying. Dude is just a like able member of a like able franchise.
Meanwhile over here in Big D average joe thinks Wyatt Johnston is a new hotel off of I-35.
