Paul Maurice reveals the reason for animated discussion with HC canes away from the players' hand line

After Florida Panthers defeated the Carolina Hurricanes 5-3 in match 5 to advance to the Stanley Cup final, Panthers' main coach Paul Maurice had a animated discussion with Hurricane's main coach, Rod Brind'amour, away from the traditional post-series hand line.

Maurice later shared that he asked Brind'amour to jump out the line of hand, with the intention of belonging only to the players of the ice.

Postgame, Maurice explained:

“It's a personal belief. I don't think coaches would have to shake hands at the end. No. I don't know where he changed. When I first entered the league, you would never go shaking the players. I don't know when he changed, but I don't think it's right.

“I asked for (toast ') that I did not (shake hands with the Panthers players) and understood it,” he added.

Maurice explained that he values ​​the visualization of the hand line focusing exclusively on the players: those who played, blocked features and fought for each other. He thinks it is a time when he belongs to them, not to the additional people who were not part of the battle.

“There is something really beautiful about the camera of the men who played in hand. And we should respect it,” he added.

The coach added that he believes that the blow should be an intimate moment between the players who fought for the final prize. It seems that he intends to preserve the purity of this tradition and to maintain the focus where he thinks he belongs.
