Is Paul Maurice the worst coach to win a Stanley Cup?

[tny760]

Chillest coach to have a beer with?

i think its hilarious u kids talking shit about paul maurice. u wouldnt say this shit to him at lan, hes jacked. not only that but he wears the freshest clothes, eats at the chillest restaurants and hangs out with the hottest dudes.

I feel like he would keep telling dumb jokes and then get offended if you don't react.

The way he talks is very dry. I mean, he seems like he would be telling you the funniest joke and at the end you wouldn't know to laugh cause you thought he was serious....

Excellent coach, appears to be a great human being as well.

Well deserved cherry on top of an impressive career.

Haters gonna hate

he has a very unique communication style. I think he would be actually quite interesting to have a shoot the shit session with a case.

I was actually impressed when he said he didn't win a cup....he got to share a cup.

He'd be a cool dude to have a beer with. How that is talking shit is beyond me. It's the highest compliment I can give.

Was a game away from being a big ol fraud, but now he’s a legend. That’s hockey.

Anyway, in recent memory it’s Bylsma.

Dan Bylsma would like to have a word

happens to the best of us

 

[Deen]

Tkachuk told Calgary fans he beat Edmonton for them and Maurice won and hoped Winnipeg would win a cup. Good on both of them.

Mr. Mediocrity, the losingest coach in NHL history... move over Marc Crawford, you may have company.

Shame on you.

This is your first post!? Yikes

Ah, the clue is on the name… Ceci

I’ve been saying for years, Maurice elevates bad teams to being average teams… give him a good team and he will go far. He showed that in Winnipeg and in subsequent seasons took the blame for what people weren’t willing to accept about that group of players.

Now here he is, with an actual good group of players, two Finals and a Cup in two years.

He is a very good coach, one of the most experienced in the league but still not a dinosaur. He has seen it all. At this point he has nothing else to prove.

Isn't Paul Maurice like 5-0 now in Game 7s?

Give me that losing coach.

The damn had to break one way or the other. 0-2 in Finals but 4-0 in game 7's.

He's such a likeable and honest guy - I can see why his team plays hard for him every night. Inspiring coach.

Reminds me a bit of Tocchet in Van.

 

[Bouboumaster]

The answer is Jean Perron AINEC

In 1986, the real coaches were Gainey and Robinson
Perron was a f***ing idiot

 

[Duke749]

The hate this guy gets makes no sense. Thirty year head coach, back-to-back SCFs, and a cup is a good enough career to be proud of.

He made a big difference when he first came to Winnipeg. But as with most coaches, he had an expiration date. He still got us to the WCF. Just should have been let go a year or more earlier.

 

[danktopshelf]

It's actually against the rules for a team in Canada to ever win the cup after 1993.

 

[Artemi Panarin]

Mr. Mediocrity would be a better name for OP based on his debut post.

 

[Chips]

How many of his teams were top tier contender talents? I don’t actually know his whole history but he’s definitely coached some mid or bad teams in terms of roster



We talk about the coach carousel, but most coaches who last that long probably have something. He strikes me as similar to Cooper, a blend of ‘players coach’ who also has the Tortorella blunt honest feedback most players love

I feel like the latter is easier to digest if you also trust and have rapport with your coach

I couldn't be happier for Paul Maurice. He's been coaching since he was 21 years old in Windsor as an assistant coach and all the years in the nhl finally turned into a championship last night. It's great to see....
