Panthers Head Coach Paul Maurice Continues To Be One Of The NHL's Biggest Quote Machines

The New York Rangers and Florida Panthers are tied at 1-1 in the Eastern Conference Final, but Florida bench boss Paul Maurice is dominating on the quote-generating front.

Maurice is one of the best coaches in NHL history, but he's still chasing that first Stanley Cup.

However, if you could win a Cup with an incredible quote (you can't though) he'd have a ring for every finger.

The man has a way with words, and that was on display during Game 2.

I mean, just check out his interview with ESPN's Emily Kaplan during the first period not too long after the Rangers opened the scoring and the Panthers went full-Charlestown Chiefs on them.

Kaplan asked "What are you seeing so far?" and Maurice's answer was gold, Jerry.

"We're alright, we're alright," he said. "Nobody's been arrested yet, so we're okay."

And none of the Panthers got arrested a la the Hanson Brothers between periods (that's two Slap Shot references for those of you keeping score at home).

Still, having all hands on deck wasn't enough to take a 2-0 lead against a Rangers team that bounced back well after laying an egg in Game 1, and the Blueshirts went on to win in overtime.

That goal was scored by Barclay Goodrow, and after the game, Maurice was asked if he had seen the replay.

He hadn't and delivered another gem.

"Do you know what? I haven't seen it yet," Maurice said. "Because — I don't know if you've been to the maze down here (in Madison Square Garden) — but our video guy is three zip codes away from our locker room."

"I haven't seen it," He continued. "I haven't seen my video guy. I'm not sure he still works for us."

He then joked that the video needed to be delivered via telegram.

Mind you, this is after an overtime loss in the Eastern Conference Final.

The series will shift to South Florida for Games 3 and 4 and you can bet that Paul Maurice will have some more quotes down there.
