In a poignant moment before Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final, Florida Panthers coach Paul Maurice expressed the deep emotional connections he has with the sport, primarily rooted in family. He attributed his love for hockey to his father, who turns 87, and shared that he now enjoys the game with his own sons. However, despite these heartwarming reflections, the team's pursuit of a second consecutive championship faced a setback as they squandered a 3-0 lead against Edmonton, losing in overtime, and tying the series 2-2. This marked another painful defeat for the Panthers who showcased an inability to maintain leads in crucial moments.
Father's Day came up. 'He's the guy who got me into the game. Taught me how to skate,' said Maurice, 58. 'Dad turns 87 this year.'
