Paul Maurice Is Hilarious & Who Are The Top-5 Coaches In The NHL Right Now? | SDP

[@casewojo6186]

Became a panther fan last year when Maurice went nuclear on the bench calling his players bad words lol. Since then I have been bought in, he’s a hell of a coach too.

[@dennislopez1272]

After the Cats win it all, that list order will have to change. Paul is the best. He always makes me laugh, too. My favorite line of his was when someone asked him about how good Reinhart was playing he said (Im paraphrasing), "He's a great player, but he's a free agent, so.... he's a terrible locker room guy, and he hurts small animals" 😂😂😂😂

[@cyan5161]

Florida has just looked so dominant throughout these playoffs, it's really hard not to be impressed by the job Maurice has done there. If you had told me that Florida would've been this good under him when he was hired, I would've told you you were crazy. But he's quickly become one of my favs, even as a Lightning fan.

[@Dawg476]

Knoblach is truly earning his name in these playoffs. Idk what other coaches would be willing to make some of these moves.

[@bigleaguesnipes]

Underrated coach is Kris Knoblauch(Bias) but he has outclassed Pete this series and has done an incredible job with the Oilers as a First time Head Coach I think.

When you coach down south nobody knows who you are outside of arena. Not like in Canada where every armchair coach comes up to you with advice in restaurants, bars, grocery stores……etc.

[@exturkconner]

Unforced turnovers aren't giveaways statistically. Giveaways in the stats specifically are forced turnovers. Every giveaway should have a takeaway associated to it by the other team. If at the end of the game those two stats don't lineup someone didn't do the job. Now is that the most important thing to track giveaway wise? No probably not. Unforced turnovers are often worse turnovers than those produced by someone taking the puck.

Boston's issues aren't Monty. They are players. Or more importantly a lack of higher end forwards that can step up big. Boston's forward group is their biggest weakness at the moment. The system, willingness of the players to play the system and goal tending is what is making Boston look so good in general. That said top 5 coaches in my mind. This is my mindset for this list always: If I want to get the most out of a roster in an attempt to make the playoffs what coach do I want. 5. Tocchet What he did with Arizona was impressive. A basement dwelling team constantly flirting with the playoffs? Those teams were playing way above their skill level. Then he lands in Vancouver. I was not surprised at the results. Boudreau was undermined by management. If Tocchet could find a way to deal with that then he was going to do great. 4. Mike Sullivan The Pens were actually a good team this year. The best team to not make the playoffs and it isn't close. The downfall to the team this season was a lack of player execution on the PP. If their power play is even mid pack the Pens are a borderline dark horse strong playoff team. 3. Jim Montgomery Boston looks like a great team and they really aren't talent wise. They rely heavily on their defensive system/goal tending and a few select forwards for offensive output. Hence the recent playoff flops. 2. Torts I said this when Torts was hired in Philly; "Torts just lost them a chance at the top pick." Talent wise the Flyers were a very bottom basement team. Ok, they "choked" out of a playoff spot but they were in a position to make the playoffs all the way down to the wire when they should never have been near the playoffs to begin with. 1. Brind'Amour Carolina has all but 2 things. 1. A top rate goalscorer. 2. Consistent elite level goal tending. Why no Cassidy or Cooper? Even with the injuries I think those teams should be finishing better than they are. They are great coaches but I don't have the confidence that they can "take less and do more" if you will compared to who I picked here. Personally I have Maurice and Brunette at 6 and 7 for me and 5 was pretty much a 50/50 between Tocchet and Maurice. That said those two and DeBoer do finish my top 10 coaches list. Honorary mention goes to Gerard Gallant who seems to do really well wherever he goes but can't keep a job through seemingly no fault of his own.

[@ericwilson9457]

Some of our jets players were toxic. Paul Maurice had enough. I don't blame him. But we did like him in Winnipeg.

[@Pingieking]

People are sleeping on Knobloch. That man has taken the Oilers from losing to the Sharks to being the best team in the league and 5 wins away from the cup. How many people thought this was possible when he took over that job?

[@scottmatthew8501]

i mean woodcroft did the same thing he was just fired for poor goaltending and finishing, the team isnt that much different under knobloch imo

[@exturkconner]

Bit premature to call them the best team in the league. I think you should wait until you see how they stack against the East team. Cause I don't think you'll find that's going to be be favorable.

[@JulianFranco-d7o]

I love your show, It's educational and it's revolutionary at the same time. Give ways and take ways are very complex stats to figure out. Maybe I'm wrong, but this should not be an individual stat, but rather scored as a unit/line score measure, that is out there. Some players benefit from other and some actually get worse with other team mates. Like for example Chucky, Barkov, Montour are good take away players making RINO, Lundell Tarasenko more effective players, Or Mika ,Miller & Panarin Giveaways are making Laffy & Kreider a lot less effective because they have to spent more time in the D zone.

[@chrishey6891]

hahaha, top 5 coaches list heavily based on the rosters they have to work with, is a big fail. The coach might have done amazing with the players available to them. There is a good chance most coaches could get the Panthers, Bruins, Golden Knights, Avs and Rangers in the playoffs.

[@mreppen1]

Leafs should’ve kept Maurice.

[@Furens]

Maurice is a solid coach for sure but this team was good before he got there. I mean if he was bad, the team would have gotten worse of course but I don't feel like he is getting dramatically more than he should from his team. Much like with Bednar - with that kind of lineup, how bad could COL possibly be?

[@Mitchell_E_Underscore]

Hockey people are typically so boring. So when we get a guy who has any sense of humour it all, we have to act like he's the second coming of Andrew Dice Clay. He's kinda funny sometimes, But like Dice, the schtick is getting old fast.

[@flyingtiger1603]

The top five in my opinion are Jim Montgomery, Rick Tocchet, Kris Knoblauch, John Tortorella, and Jon Cooper. I wouldn’t qualify Maurice because he has a stacked team just about any coach would do well with them. Montgomery lost both Bergeron and Krejci and they still did very well. Tocchet took a team that probably wasn’t even supposed to make the playoffs and they won their division and almost got to the third round. Knoblauch took a team that was in last place and now they are one win away from the Stanley cup final. Tortorella took an awful team that should have been down with the Sharks, Ducks and Hawks and made them into a team that was very close to making the playoffs and were in a position to for most of the season and as for Cooper well he took the Lightning to the Stanley Cup final 3 years in a row and won 2 of them.
