Panthers Coach’s Brutally Honest Take on Atlantic Division Race..

As the Florida Panthers, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Tampa Bay Lightning battle for position atop the Atlantic division, Florida head coach Paul Maurice made clear his view of the race for the No. 1 spot. The Panthers are third in the Atlantic with 91 points, tied with the Tampa Bay Lighting but with the latter having the edge due to tiebreakers. Toronto leads the division with 94 points, although the Maple Leafs have played one more game through Monday. According to the Panthers coach, in a brutally honest take, there’s little benefit in finishing first because of what will

inevitably come at some point through the playoffs. “It’s tough,” Maurice said. “You’re going to have to beat a team out of Ontario (Toronto or the Ottawa Senators), and you’re going to have to beat a team out of Florida (Tampa Bay) to get to where you want to go (the Stanley Cup Final). “I see no value in [finishing first].” Maurice pointed to the quality of potential wild card opponents and the unpredictability of playoff matchups as the main points for his reasoning. “If you do that and win your games, the door prize is (an Eastern Conference Finals matchup against) the Washington Capitals, possibly,” Maurice said. “Washington, the way they’ve played all year, or Carolina. “Believe me, you’re not feeling comfortable playing any of these guys.” From @DominosCanada That’s Hockey – Why @martybiron43 believes the Maple Leafs roster is better than the Panthers and Lightning in the Atlantic:

These games could determine the final Atlantic seedings, though Maurice insisted that won’t affect his approach. Maurice also warned against framing the race as a three-team contest. “The second game of the year we played Ottawa. They beat us with a different game than they’d played before,” Maurice said. “They’re in the mix, too.” The Senators lead the wild-card race with 84 points and a 39-28-6 record through 73 games and have built a seven-point lead over the Montreal Canadiens (34-30-9 and 77 points) in the second wild-card spot.
