The handshake line at the end of a playoff series is one of hockey’s sacred traditions, no matter how physical the series was before one team eventually prevailed. And Maurice thinks the handshakes are part of what makes the game great to hockey fans, and he’s all for it happening.He has just said repeatedly throughout this postseason that he thinks the coaches shouldn’t be part of it — reiterating that after the Panthers eliminated the Hurricanes on Wednesday night, even going as far as convincing Brind’Amour to sit it out himself. In that moment, Maurice said, nothing should take the attention off the players on the two teams that just played a series.
“I don’t believe that the coaches should shake players’ hands at the end,” Maurice said. “There’s this long list of people in suits and track suits. We had like 400 people on the ice. They’re all really important to our group. But not one of them was in the game.”So, just as he did after the Round 2 win over Toronto, Maurice and his staff shook hands with Brind’Amour and other members of the Carolina staff. That happened near the benches, while the players partook in the traditional handshake line down the center of the ice.Maurice said several weeks ago that he isn’t sure when the post-round handshake expanded to include coaches, and figures someone years ago did it just to either be seen or grab some television time. He said when he started coaching, people in the suits weren’t in those handshake moments.
This season, he’s been trying to amend the tradition. And he thanked Brind’Amour for taking a risk, as Maurice said, in agreeing with him.“There’s something for me visually, with the camera on just the men who played, blocked shots, fought for each other, it’s end of one’s season, it’s excitement for the other,” Maurice said. “The last thing that a player on the Carolina Hurricanes deserves is 50 more guys in suits, they have no idea who they are and that’s not a negative. There’s something really kind of beautiful about just the camera on those men who played shaking hands. And we should respect that.”
OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Before Baltimore
with Justin Tucker early this month, coach John Harbaugh said whatever the Ravens decided to do would be a football decision.Randle was disappointed by the decision, to be sure, but he’s got too strong of a relationship with Finch — dating to the 2018-19 season with New Orleans when Finch was an assistant — and too much of a grasp of the bigger picture to let any negative emotion cloud his demeanor.
“Obviously as a competitor I want to play, but it’s all about the team and I wanted to make sure that I came in the same if it’s a good day or if it’s a bad day,” Randle said. “I think it’s important for my teammates to see it. As hard as it is at times, you’ve got to check your ego at the door.”Finch and Randle spoke at the morning shootaround, but there wasn’t any tension to clear.
“I said, ‘Hey, man, you had one subpar game in the playoffs so far. Just happened to be the other night. We’re moving on,’” Finch said.Good advice from the head coach, of course, but the star player actually beat him to it.
