News about Paul Maurice

Whichever way the 2024 Stanley Cup Final ends, a drought will be ended for one of the two teams in it. On one side there's the Florida Panthers - a team who has been this far twice and has fallen both times: once in 1996 to the Colorado Avalanche and last year to the Vegas Golden Knights. Then there's the Edmonton Oilers - who haven't touched the Stanley Cup since 1990. They also carry the burden of Canada upon their shoulders, as the Great White North hasn't hoisted the trophy in 31 years.

After losing a substantial portion of his active roster to game misconduct in a gruesome 5-0 win over the Senators, Florida Panthers head coach Paul Maurice was forced to do a head count on his bench on Monday. Following a third-period melee, 13 players were suspended on the night, including 10 after a third-period melee. When Senators left wing Brady Tkachachuk with just under eight minutes to spare and Ottawa trailing 4-0, it became tense. However, when he first met with Florida netminder Sergei Bobrovsky, everyone on the ice seemed to have jumped into the fray. Matthew, Tkachuk's brother, plays for the Panthers and was given an unsportsmanlike penalty earlier in the game against Ottawa's Jake Sanderson and Zack MacEwan, the latter of whom was also suspended. Sam Bennett of Florida and Mathieu Joseph of Ottawa were suspended later Tuesday, bringing the total number to 13 ejections, although the two teams combined for 167 penalty minutes.

The Vegas Golden Knights made it clear that the Stanley Cup would be a complete whitewash, rather dismantled the Florida Panthers in Ga me 2. With a 7-2 victory on Monday night, the hosts blasted into a 2-0 series, establishing their kingship across the ice. And they were even more active than in Game 1; they couldn't be banned from playing.

Many hockey fans were not expecting a second all-Sun Belt Stanley Cup Final in NHL history. Boston was the best regular season squad in the league's history going into the playoffs. They were knocked out by the worst team that made it in. Canada wished that they would win their first Stanley Cup since 1993. Rather, the Jets were quickly dismissed and the Maple Leafs and Oilers' star power was snuffed out.

During a frenzied attack at his family's home in Bromley, southeast London, Sean Maurice (left), 31, thrusted a knife into the back and chest of his car salesman father Paul Maurice (pictured right) a total of 33 times. Sean, a father of one, fled the scene across the back gardens of adjacent homes and scaled a shed roof, resulting in a standoff with police that ultimately resulted in his capture. Mr Maurice, 52, who was described as a "dreadful father" by a judge today, told neighbors he did not want to die when he collapsed bleeding on their doorstep, not to die. Sean told officers: "I've got nothing to lose" because he assaulted my dad, who assaulted me, and now you want to arrest me? What kind of f*****g justice is that?' Sean admitted murder, but the Old Bailey jury in central London found him not guilty of murder after 13 hours and 11 minutes of deliberation.
