Panthers head coach Paul Maurice met with the media today and revealed he expects there to be controlled chaos tonight, with a lot fewer bad penalties.

Florida Panthers head coach Paul Maurice always knows the right words to say. He continues to provide some of the best quotes in the National Hockey League.
Maurice revealed today that he expects there to be controlled chaos in tonight's Game 4 vs the Oilers. He believes fans can expect the fastest game of the series thus far, and the most disciplined game as well.
"This will be the fastest, most disciplined games in the series."

Maurice didn't stop there with his famous quotes as he also had an exchange with Jackie Redmond of TNT, and it was simply legendary.

Maurice also jokingly made fun of Sam Bennett

Panthers center Sam Bennett could become a free agent on July 1st, and Maurice joked with Redmond that Bennett had the plague and was incurable. He also said he was not a coachable type of player, all jokes, of course.
"He's got a horrible attitude," Maurice said of Bennett after speaking of his greatness. "I think he's got bubonic plague or dengue fever. He's got a whole bunch of things. We're not sure if he can be cured."

Should the Panthers win two more games and once again win the Stanley Cup, Bennett will be a serious contender for the Conn Smythe Trophy as the Most Valuable Player of the entire playoffs.
His 14 playoff goals lead the NHL and are four better than Edmonton's Leon Draisaitl.
Maurice likes to joke and kid around, and he did the same thing last season to Sam Reinhart when he said Reinhart was "hard to deal with", "had a terrible attitude," and "was mean to small animals."
As it turned out, Reinhart re-signed with the Panthers, so Bennett just might do the same, as he has stated that he would like to stay in Florida.
The Panthers have only so much salary cap to go around, and word is they want to re-sign Aaron Ekblad and newcomer Brad Marchand, too.
If Bennett says he wants to stay in Sunrise, it would be a no-brainer that general manager Bill Zito would do everything to make it happen. Game 4 goes down tonight in Sunrise, Florida, at 8 PM ET.
