00:00Did you see the little exchange after the game with Maurice and Brindamore?

00:05So that basically had to do with Maurice doesn't like going in the player's handshake line after the game.

00:13And here he is, whatever is right, here he is explaining that whole mess.

00:18I don't believe that the coaches should shake players' hands at the end.

00:22There's this long list of people in suits and track suits.

00:25I mean, we had like 400 people on the ice, so all really important to our group, but not one of them was in the game.

00:34There's something for me visually with the camera on of just the men who played, who blocked shots, who fought for each other.

00:41It's the end of one season.

00:43It's excitement for the other.

00:45The last thing that a player on the Carolina Hurricanes deserves is 50 more guys in suits they have.

00:51They have no idea who they are, and that's not a negative.

00:55There should be something really kind of beautiful about just the camera on those men who played shaking hands.

01:02So we should respect that.

01:03I think it's fair, but I also think it's a little ridiculous.

01:07Like, dude, like, honestly, just stop.

01:10Stop trying to save the world and change the way things are.

01:14This has been going on forever.

01:17Can we just leave it good enough alone?

01:20Thanks so much.

01:21I think Paul's a great coach, but now, what is he, bringing new philosophies to the way that people should celebrate?

01:28Like, what's happening here?

01:28Right.

01:29It's a little too much for me.

01:32Like, and first of all, it's like him and like three other coaches.

01:36The whole entire training staff doesn't get on the ice and go shake the players' hands.

01:42Like, let's calm down a bit.

01:44And, listen, Paul is a good quote.

01:47He says a lot of quirky things, and he's really come to light the last three years with all these runs to the Stanley Cup final.

01:54The guys want to go shake the players' hands.

01:56Let them go shake the players' hands.

01:57All right, relax, Paul.

01:58Paul has gotten famous by making the Stanley Cup final three years in a row.

02:03Sure.

02:03Everyone knows who he is now.

02:04Same as John Cooper.

02:06Because let me tell you something.

02:07No one cares about, let's be clear, hockey coaches in the NHL.

02:12People barely care about hockey.

02:15And, look, Maurice has always been this way.

02:17He's always been a guy who gives you a cool, quirky quote and all that.

02:21The problem was nobody heard them because he never was in the Stanley Cup final before two years ago.

02:27So nobody heard any of it when he was in Carolina and Toronto and Winnipeg and all those other stops along the map.

02:34But when you win, it gets brought up a little bit more.

02:38So nice job there.
