The head coach of the Florida Panthers has demonstrated two things – strategic insight, and humility when it comes to the use of video reviews during critical moments. How? “The linesperson informed me that it was the last clip that they got where they made the decision that it shows it’s offside. I don’t have those. So I was upset after the call, based on what I see at my feet and what my video person looks at,” Paul Maurice reported last year in an interview.
Well, in hockey, it’s likely that the referees often make split-second decisions about a play being offside, which can significantly impact the flow and outcome of the game. But coaches, like Maurice, who are skilled at identifying when to challenge and have a strong understanding of the rules, don’t just influence the game’s momentum but also overturn the incorrect offside decisions.
The Sportsnet on X just shared the biggest reveal about the Florida Head coach. “Paul Maurice has won 18 consecutive offside challenges dating back to 2020,” the post read. Wait, what? Well, that’s an impressive streak for Maurice – to win 18 consecutive offside challenges. And that too going back five years. It shows not just his sharp awareness but also some great video review skills and on-ice positioning insight, right?
