This guy's next tweet is saying Florida did well in the playoffs and got goalied. Again, can't take these people who don't watch the games seriously.

You mean like how you went way over the top about the coach after every win, for weeks after Q left? This isn't personal, it's about who can get the Panthers the best chance to win a cup. Who's the most likely to do that. Who cares who it is?Looking forward to Maurice being held as accountable as Bruno has been for every single mistake, big or small the team made this year!
Nah that's the main board threadWait, we like this move? Before I clicked on this thread I thought for sure everyone would be lining up to bash it.
Or you can say he made it past round 1 only four times in 24 seasons.What? He was in Winnipeg for 9 seasons. How many active coaches have been with their team for 9+ seasons.?
Also he is 6th all time in wins...
I’ll give zito the benefit of the doubt on the hire until proven otherwise. But then again I didn’t place a huge importance on the coaching hire as I don’t see our cup window open right now with the current roster of players and bobs cap still present.

There is an argument he has coached some bad teams... His best result was taking Carolina to SC finals in 2001/02; he was fired by them mid-2003/04 season and the Canes won the Cup two years later. Toronto did nothing for years after his two-year stretch; neither did Carolina in his second stretch.
From the main board:
"[Paul Maurice is] a great human being. But his systems are just bad, especially the zone defence and PK. Our defence never could adapt to the system, there was non-stop confusion and clumsy mistakes, blown coverage, you name it. Your goalie will get shelled with lower-risk shots once you get hemmed in your zone. He is also totally unable to counter trap hockey, which cost us every time we went to the playoffs."
Defence, bad PK and inability to counter trap hockey. Yeah...
We'll see. Not really a fan of the hiring but ready to be pleasantly surprised.

Idk, it’s impossible to say. What I mean by the window being open is that I don’t think there’s anyway this current roster is able to compete for a Stanley cup. Not that they shouldnt attempt to get better and go for it but realistically there’s no way a team with Barkov and Huberdeau as the big threats on offense, only Ekblad on D is going to win a cup. They need more than that and I don’t mean just good depth. This playoffs was eye opening to showcase where we really stand. We can do better next playoffs for all I know but we still aren’t winning any Stanley cups with this. The “window” will be open when the right pieces are brought in, we don’t have them right now imo. Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to add themWhen will it be then!
50 years down the line: "Just a couple more years and then our window will be open!"
I feel like me and you are on the same page for most things. Must be a European thing! haha
I always was impressed with the way the Jets played under him.People really think Maurice is the guy? Like seriously?
We shall see.
I predict a 1st round exit next season.
I am surprised the amount of positive reactions this hire is getting.
But then again, most also celebrated getting Chiarot as well!

Yikes.As a Peg fan, the above is true. He has zero ability to adapt in game, reverts to his antiquated systems and continually ran AHLers over youth with speed and skill unless forced to change because of injuries/Covid etc and even then, would swap out the veterans, especially his favs (Wheeler) once healthy, regardless of how well the subs played. His defensive systems are atrocious as evident in Helly seeing the most shots against of any starting goalie.
I wish him the best and would love to see him win a cup. To my understanding he’s a great person and a players coach.
But I definitely don’t see this going well for Florida
When will it be then!
