BREAKING: Paul Maurice gets a HUGE fine by the NHL
On Tuesday, the Florida Panthers played against the Toronto Maple Leafs, in that turned out to be a 5-4 OT win for the Maple Leafs.
During the game, 16 penalties were called which resulted in 10 powerplays. Things got a little heated when 7 of those 10 powerplays were given to the Toronto Maple Leafs, which upset Panthers coach Paul Maurice.
After the game he had a few comments towards the referees:
Well, it'll always be penalties that you take in the game you earn, and there's a whole bunch of (penalties) you're not gonna like it all. I thought we had the inordinate share of those.
I don't know what the hell those guys were doing tonight. But it wasn't Florida Panther–friendly.
I just explained to 'em, it had nothing to do with my players; it had to do with me and a relationship that I have with one of the referees. That's what that was all about. So, just go out, keep your mouth shut, and play the game.

«I just explained to them that it had nothing to do with my players,» Maurice said with a hearty laugh. «It has to do with a relationship I have with one of the referees. That's what that was all about.»
He's definitely getting fined, but it was worth every penny https://t.co/iRO1pe579S— Bryan (@Metalpanthers) January 18, 2023
