Maurice and TNSE had a good thing going briefly.
Then it plain got weird.
Laine was essentially bullied out of the room, Maurice attempted to patch things up.
Locker room was dysfunctional.
Maurice seemingly got tuned out eventually and had to literally quit , that’s rare.
Maurice used to comment that certain players didn’t need coaching, I am sure he was being sarcastic about that.
Scheifele and Wheeler took whatever shift length they wanted and back checked when they wanted ( not often )
I used to think Maurice enabled them but it seems to me they did whatever they pleased and Chipman had this odd fixation on coaching tenure ( He had extended Maurice that off season before he quit )
Long story short I hope Maurice gets his cup he deserves it.
I have to admit I was wrong about him.
