Praise again for Tkachuk and Bennett on the winner, saying those are just good hockey plays from guys that know how to win
Montour's game has gone from purely talented to a focused game where he knows what he can do and has built confidence on that
Referred to Reinhart as one of the smartest guys in the game that will likely go on to become a head coach, but more likely a G.M. Said he understands the game and the players (especially on the other team) better than anyone else.
Last but not least: Said that this win will serve this team's success for the next 5 years because of the level of the opponent and just how much they needed to bring to beat them.
Pretty incredible...never thought much of him until now.

Good outcome for the Panthers but I still view Maurice as an overrated blowhard.
I find nothing about his interactions with the media genuine, and his BS accusations against Tkachuk during the bubble series were disqualifying, even if it was gamesmanship.
