I have a world of respect for Paul Maurice. He is a great coach and the Jets will miss him, but maybe the team needed a new voice. The Maurice is a very classy guy. I am really wishing the best for him.
What a classy farewell speech by Paul Maurice, and he said it better than anybody could, that he took the team as far as his energy and talent could. I believe he gave a 100 % commitment, but fell short of winning the big prize. Who knows ? after he takes a mental break, he'll resurface again like Sutter, and Boudreau and Torts did. I wish this man all the best, a true class act when he speaks.
Kind of crazy. He's been there 7 or 8 years and decided he wasn't the right guy for the job any more. Makes me want to make a list of the guys that aren't right for their job 1 or 2 years in and wouldn't consider doing this. Huge respect, gutsy move, I hope he finds a place where he is the right guy for the job.
Big Ole Church Bells hanging - this dude has it all. Proud to call him a Winnipeg ambassador and citizen, as well as the class and excellence he has brought to this city for many years. Thank you Paul.
I echo many of the other comments that have already been made about Paul Maurice. What a class act! He goes to Winnipeg on a 4-month trial and he's there for 8 years and he feels like he has to apologize for leaving. Well done, sir! You are the best of us when all we see these days is the worst of us. Thank you.
It's so hard to do what Paul Maurice just did... to put your ego aside and admit hard truths goes against our human nature, and that tells you everything you need to know about Paul as a person. I've always had tons of respect for him as a coach and I really hope for the jets and their fans this is the jolt the team needs.
Leafs fan here, if the Jets win the cup this year, he should get a ring. 8 years of guiding a team for him to say that he is at fault for them not being as good as they should be. Take guts, and deserves to be recognized for that decision
@@justawinddown he admitted that. He was holding them back to their full potential. Not a single coach would lay himself off like that. Not a single coach loves a team like that. It’s a sacrifice and if he can realize his own fault, he is a stronger minded person than most of us. That deserves a ring.
What a classy guy takes a real man to do what’s right for the collective and not just for one’s self smart guy with a great hockey mind much respect Paul good luck on your new path👍🏻💪🏻
Wow so graceful and humble. You know Maurice is great when he steps aside to get the team in a better place. So many hold on until they are fired and it ends up having a profound effect on the team and the fans. I wish he all the best and pretty sure he will find a new job no problem at all. Refreshing to see someone take responsibility.
As a caps fan I always love to see Winnipeg to win a cup with Paul and every game I see Washington playing against the jets it’s like we make guys welcomed,well respect,even though both organizations get each other faces through many games years, you fans up in Winnipeg are the best seeing on tv and looking at the score of you guys, Washington capitals will have you’ll back , love you guys,respected, you guys and fans will always come to Washington DC Hope you guys win a cup I believe it will come Paul Maurice will be behind you forever and Blake wheeler too love you guys and good luck
I'm a Senators fan and I felt this to my core, impressed by this press conference. I hope that one day ownership and management conduct themselves with this kind of professionalism here in Ottawa.
As a Leaf fan, I have nothing but respect for this guy! Great human being and hope that he makes himself readily available for radio more often on TSN1050 Overdrive!! Great sense of humour! 😆
From a Flames fan...Always liked Paul Maurice in post game interviews, and I'm so old I remember the WHA Jets that were so awesome. The 80's Oilers had nothing on that team in my opinion. Hull, Hedberg, Nilsson....great team. If Flames can't get a cup I have no problem if the Jets do! The city deserves it! Wishing Mr. Maurice all the best. Classy guy.
@@archie_bunker this is classy. Admitting he isn't going to get them where they need to be and needs a change takes something a lot of coaches refuse to do.
Wild fan here...Much respect for recognizing when it's time to go. Most coaches put their ego ahead of the team and wait for things to fall apart. Best to go out on your own terms rather than waiting for someone to dictate them.
So much respect for PM. I only wish him the best, good health and a happy, clear mind. 8 years man, he deserves the right to make this choice and not be scrutinized for it. If he wants to coach, 31 teams should be having that conversation
Absolute class from PM here. The ability to do whats right for the team and not whats right for his bank account is commendable. We need a new coach but we appreciate what Paul did for the team!
He will succeed in what ever he wants to Do now. What an unbelievable unselfish act to sept down from one of only 32 nhl coaching jobs because he wants better for the fans and players. Mind blowing interview.
Classy, classy gentleman. Passionate about his team and his job. I hope he’s not stepping down for family/health matters and wish him all the best. We will definitely see him in another market by the start of next season if this is purely a resignation to move on.
Honestly I think it's as he said; a combination of fatigue related to the pandemic, especially the lack of fans in lockdowns, and then furthermore, a hyper self-aware decision based on the performance metrics of his team. He indicated they aren't exactly where he and management wanted the team to be going into 2022 and he is preempting a divorce by taking the initiative and thus responsibility. The latter part of this decision indicates a deep respect of management and a very good relationship that he didn't want to jeopardize in any fashion. That's what I was able to decipher from his statements, but no one know for sure except Maurice.
As an Oilers fan, I always wished that at some point Peg would win the Cup. The Jets and Winnipeg were always such noble opponents. Nothing has changed except my respect for the whole organization has gone up. If the Oilers are going to lose to someone and they go on to win the Cup, I would hope it was Winnipeg. I have always wished that somehow the Oilers and Jets could always wear WHA colors when they play each other as they are the only two cities from the WHA with teams still. It Still burns me that the Avco cup is in Peg forever. Go Oilers.
I think that the change was due after the PO exit vs. the Blues. But as a person Maurice stands out amongst all the NHL coaches. What a classy guy. Thanks for your service!
I watched the canadians/flyers game yesterday with no fans, and it bummed me out. Can't speak on behalf of anyone else but I think alot of people need a break from everything going on in the world right now. If he wants to coach, he'll get an opportunity, and if he doesn't want to, he'll still go down as a legendary coach
GM Chevy said Paul Maurice will be well taken care of financially meaning he was forced to step down with one year at $3M left on his contract. Normally, a resignation means you don’t get any new paycheques. He was gently fired.
I believe smart coaches know. Players have changed in the last 26 years. I think coaching at this level is very tough. A new voice can add a lot. Good Luck for you and good luck for the Jets. Happy Holidays.
A year after letting him go Carolina wins the cup. I remember thinking PoMo was responsible for putting all the talent together while Laviolette (riding on his coattails) got all the glory. One of the biggest mistakes Leaf’s made letting him go as their farm team coach. Best current coach to never win the cup. A class act, indeed! He will be missed in Winnipeg.
Paul Maurice you are a class act sir! You deserve nothing but the best!!! Winnipeg was fortunate to of had you for so long!! Good luck and best wishes on your endeavours!!!
As an Oilers fan, Paul is an intelligent and competitive leader, he owned our head coach in the playoff sweep. He did exactly what he said would happen . I hope to God he considers coming to Edmonton in the summer, when our head coach Tip's contract is done
What a well spoken man. I didn’t think I would sit through the whole interview, but everything he said was so meaningful that the time just flew by. This is how any public figure should learn to conduct themselves at the podium.
I'm such a casual NHL fan (from Minnesota) that I've never even HEARD of Paul Maurice before (I'm more of a fan of boys and girls high school and college hockey). But, my god, what a thoughtful gentleman! He reminds me a lot of the current Wild head coach and GM who also seem to be a pair of talented men of integrity. I do follow the Wild enough, though, to know that a Jets team playing up to, or above, expectations is baaaad news for the Wild!
Sounds like the covid protocols wore him down, and with stricter protocols incoming he doesn’t feel he has the passion this group will need to win it all. Props to him for knowing its time.
Good on you PM. That kind of thinking brought Bruce Boudreau to Vancouver and it's working out. No big changes in players but Bruce is teaching them how to use what they have. I'm impressed.
How classy was that! I told my wife 2 days ago that Paul would be gone, he just looked exhausted and at the end of his resources during the Buffalo loss. I'm glad he left on his own terms. Good luck on your future endeavors Paul. You're a credit to your profession and an honorable man.
The challenges of winning a cup are tremendous...there are so many good teams and the odds are you only have a 1 in 32 chance every year to hoist lord stanley. The 2 star teams vs. 5 star teams diminish those odds and certainly not the coaches fault for working with what exists. I thought he did well when he was with Leafs and also with the Jets, just making it to the playoffs is a feat in itself. Glad he took the road less travelled, but hopefully he can return again somewhere later.
What a true gentleman, all respect to Paul and Jets organization
