Paul Maurice said Matthew Tkachuk’s hit was intentional, an “absolutely filthy disgusting hit” and could have ended Mark Scheifele’s career.

“It was a filthy, dirty hit,” says Paul Maurice of Matthew Tkachuk’s hit on Mark Scheifele. Says you can see from the blue line feed that it was intentional. “A filthy, disgusting hit.”

He is trying to take the focus off his team by creating a distraction. He doesn't want the media picking apart the Jets poor play and laying on tons of pressure. Having the media debate Tkachuk's hit for two days is better for the Jets.
