Imagine how Burke, Hartley, or even D.Sutter would have reacted if one coach went at one of their star players like that.

Yeah, I could see those 3 being pretty snarky when referring to Maurice's comments.
However I'm not convinced that would have helped the team. Seems like had that happened the team would have had a similar performance regardless, and then the narrative would be that our management just got suckered into the distraction.
If a player can't "get up" for a playoff game, I don't think it's the coach's fault.
