The Freedom thing is a reference to this:



And the video itself, according to Twitter, is in reference to an inside joke the players have about Paul Maurice overusing the phrase "freedom to play their games." That's why he turned and said it to the players.

That video encapsulates why Maurice is such a goddamn legend. The man was born to be a hockey coach.

Yup, props to Karmanos for seeing it. It's so weird. I remember I was in high school when Maurice was first hired by the Whalers in 1996. Feels like a lifetime ago. I thought this guy is never gonna last. Now I love the man, and to me he's no doubt a top 5 coach of all time. Give the man some other teams like Bowman or Quenneville had, and he'd have more Cups.
