Panthers' Paul Maurice receives huge fine from the NHL
Tuesday night's game between the Florida Panthers and Toronto Maple Leafs has a combined 16 penalties and 10 powerplays handed out.
The Leafs had seven of those powerplays and Panthers coach Paul Maurice did not hold back his feelings about that:
''Well, it'll always be penalties that you take in the game you earn, and there's a whole bunch of [penalties] you're not gonna like it all. I thought we had the inordinate share of those.''
�'I don't know what the hell those guys were doing tonight. But it wasn't Florida Panther�friendly.�'
