After a back and forth series thus far, both Jon Cooper and Paul Maurice have called out the other team in their comments, and now Maurice has reacted again.
The Battle of Florida in the Stanley Cup Playoffs have been red-hot thus far, and while the Panthers currently lead 2-1 in the series, the road team have won all three games thus far.
It's been an intense one too, with some massive hits headlining this series, led by the one from Brandon Hagel on Aleksander Barkov that resulted in a one-game suspension for Game Three.
After that hit, Paul Maurice came out and said we don't hit players without the puck, and after Matthew Tkachuk did the same thing (although not as brutal) in Game Three, Cooper came out with the exact same comment.
In good spirit, Maurice has now reacted to the come back from Cooper, and unsurprisingly, he had plenty of fun in the running battle with his opposing coach in this series.
«He chirped me, My wife had a good chuckle. I think she thought it was pretty funny. And I think the coaches probably all have to take over the chirps at some point. It's kind of a lost art on the bench. So it's all good.»
While the battle on the ice has been good, the battle off it has been just as entertaining, and with both teams wanting to win Game Four to turn the tide of the series in their favour, things are heating up in a big way.
As for Cooper and Maurice, they're two of the most successful coaches in the NHL in recent times, and with a great respect for each other, they're clearly having fun, and as the series goes on, expect that to continue.
