Congrats to Maurice. He was a good Manitoba.

Congrats Pmo, you beauty, enjoy!

Paul Maurice deserved the Stanley Cup more than anyone else on either team, and it's not even close.

And I've got to say...if you're a Winnipegger over the age of 40, and you cheer for the Edmonton Oilers, at any time, in any circumstances, there's something wrong with you.

I just wanted two things out of these finals: to be entertained and for both teams to destroy each other. I'm just glad I don't have to listen to my manager at work being unbearable for the entire summer.

His comments go to show how much he loved the city and the org. Maybe someday, the whole story about the how/why he left will get leaked. If it does, people will soften even further

So happy for PoMo

I'm happy for Maurice. Have to admit I was kinda pulling for the Oilers tonight after coming back from 3-0 in the series,as much as it pains me to admit that...

Congrats to PoMo what a beauty

Hey, I cheered for the Oilers in 2006 when we had no team.

I didn't even watch the NHL when we had no team, but I actively cheered against all the other Canadian teams. It was my curse. When the Jets left in 1996 I said that no Canadian team would win the Stanley Cup until Winnipeg got an NHL team back, and that team won the Stanley Cup. 28 years and the curse is still holding.

You're welcome.

You gotta love PoMo giving us a shout out


How many coaches would do that during their TV moment???? Shout out their old team to win it next?

Gotta love and respect that.

EDIT: maybe Rutger sees that And realizes he’s got a special organization he was drafted to

Fun fact: the Oilers have still never won the Cup without beating the Jets in the playoffs that year first...

who's going to make the next maurice thread on this forum?

I always backed Paul even in the worst of the Paul is the problem with this team era. Yes he had a good team in Florida but there are lots of good teams in the NHL and only 1 wins the cup.

Congrats to Maurice. Very well deserved. Very happy for the man!

coaches have a life cycle, when you don't win it's hard to sell your message, he was here for 9 years, that's an eternity for a coach, it was time for a change for both sides

Congrats Paul, heartfelt moment to see you hoist the cup.

'If I could wish for one thing more, it would be for the Winnipeg Jets to win a Stanley Cup'

Maurice with the Winnipeg shoutout as he's emotionally giving his interview, wow.

Super cool of him to say that

I am one of those fans who was pissed off that Maurice quit on the team in the middle of the season.

Nevertheless, I am happy for him that he got his Stanley Cup.

 

[LucianoBorsato]

Congrats PoMo! Thank-you for preventing Evander Kane from winning a cup, Corey Perry from winning another one and the Oilers in general.

Lovely thing to say about the Jets, my wife teared up.

The man has so much class. I hope his wish comes true.

 

[Cypruss]

What a great break of a thread from the rampant trade speculations going on. I love the debates for sure.

So happy for Maurice. I have defended his actions for a long time. Pure class and a genuine person.

I was hoping for a Jets vs Panthers final. I was very happy to actually cheer for him and his team when it happened.

CONGRATS PAUL MAURICE... you finally got one!!!
