Panthers' Coach Paul Maurice Hits Assistant on Bench in Viral Moment



Anybody who is on the Florida Panthers or is a fan of the Florida Panthers must have been excited after Matthew Tkachuk scored a goal with five seconds left to send the Panthers to the Stanley Cup Finals.

Paul Maurice certainly was excited as he punched one of his assistant coaches which caught said coach off guard startling him in the viral clip.



This appears to be one of those "I told you so" punches or one of those "That's what I'm talking about" punches. Nonetheless, Maurice and his entire coaching staff deserve to be excited after coaching the 17th-place Panthers to the cup final.
