'We take some beatings. We take hits': HC Paul Maurice embraces playoff injuries, appreciates Florida Panthers physical and relentless style
Paul Maurice (via Getty Images) The Florida Panthers are not only surviving the Stanley Cup Playoffs—they're thriving on the beatings. That physical persona—unapologetic, gritty, and relentless—is their trademark after two deep postseason runs. This season's fight has only gotten fiercer. Game 2 saw Sam Bennett light the scoreboard and the headlines ablaze. He scored on the power play early but then took a disputed goaltender interference penalty for running into Oilers goalie Stuart Skinner. Florida Panthers' physical style feeds their playoff run—but can it continue? Following a bruising Game 2 versus the Edmonton Oilers, head coach Paul Maurice did not sugarcoat his team's identity: 'I think that we take some beatings. We take hits. We get hit. The standard theme is people have a general, pretty strong idea of the style of game that we play, and they play the same game when they play us. This series doesn't look like maybe the series prior. So we're used to getting hit.' Replays indicated Mattias Ekholm pushing Bennett just prior to contact, but the call held. "Very surprised," Sam Bennett said after the game, although the hit just fueled the fire of an already intense series. Paul Maurice: Florida Panthers Home, Prep for Game 3 of Stanley Cup Final v Oilers Their style doesn't change, win or lose. They hit, they fight, and they forecheck until the opponent breaks. For Maurice, that's not reckless—it's intentional. New acquisition Brad Marchand, brought in from Boston, has fit beautifully into Florida's bruiser role. He paces the team—and the NHL—with 46 penalty minutes this playoffs, in addition to 17 points (7G, 10A) in 19 games. With the Stanley Cup Final tied 1–1 going into Game 3 in Sunrise, the Panthers are dancing on a razor's edge. Their intensity intimidates, but it also provokes penalties and possible injuries. The question is no longer whether the Florida Panthers can wear down its foes. It's whether their bodies and discipline can maintain long enough to capture a second Cup. Also read: '2006, The rules changed' — The secret behind Brad Marchand's playoff success, as per HC Paul Maurice However, it seems that their coach Maurice isn't changing the game plan. The Panthers have the bruises to prove it—and maybe, soon, the hardware too.

Auston Matthews' Maple Leafs could trade Mitch Marner to NHL contender in shocking twist
Mitch Marner's future with the Toronto Maple Leafs is clouded by uncertainty as reports surface about a possible sign-and-trade deal this offseason. After nearly a decade playing alongside Auston Matthews, the Leafs appear ready to move their star forward to an NHL contender, most likely the Florida Panthers. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now This potential trade could reshape the Maple Leafs' roster and impact the NHL trade market significantly. Maple Leafs reportedly eyeing Marner sign-and-trade with Florida After yet another postseason failure, the pressure in Toronto is boiling over. With Marner's contract expiring in 2026 and fans demanding results, the Maple Leafs are reportedly open to a bold move re-signing the star winger to a max-term extension, only to flip him immediately to a contender. The Florida Panthers have emerged as serious suitors. According to insider Cam Robinson, the Leafs are in talks to execute a sign-and-trade that would give them return value for Marner before losing him for nothing. 'There's real smoke that the Florida Panthers could be gearing up to make a run at Marner,' Robinson said. 'Word is that Toronto has opened the door to a sign-and-trade scenario.' Florida Panthers interested in acquiring Mitch Marner this offseason The proposed move could shake the core of the Matthews-Marner era, a duo once seen as untouchable. But after years of playoff heartbreak, Toronto may finally be ready to break up the partnership in favor of a roster reset. Meanwhile, Florida's interest hints at a major shift of its own. If the Panthers pursue Marner, they may let go of key free agents like Sam Bennett or Brad Marchand, both of whom raised their stock in the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Panthers GM Bill Zito has never shied away from blockbuster deals and this could be his biggest yet. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Also Read: For Marner, a trade would mark the end of a hometown story that never delivered the fairytale ending. For Leafs fans, it's a mix of relief and heartbreak. And for the NHL, it's a potential offseason shocker that could tilt the balance of power in the East.

When Alcaraz, Sinner dazzled, left us almost blinded and breathless
You know what they're calling it? Alcaraz versus Sinner and their 5h29m? This longest French Open final over the last 100 years of the event's international competition? At the end of Sunday's nerve-shredding, head-clutching, soaring mind-bender of a men's singles final, it has been placed by many as among its top five or six. There's apparently lists being made of TopWhatever Grand Slam GOAT finals, with fierce debates on Alcaraz-Sinner's inclusion or exclusion there. Wherever you saw the final, savour it, let it roll about in your mind. You know where it stands in your own sporting and emotional matrix, let the pedantic de-construct. Here is where we stand on the Monday morning after. Firstly, it's a public holiday. Nothing to do with the tennis but to mark Pentecost Monday, the 50 days after Easter. Tennis' holy trinity anyway stands disbanded; A fortnight ago, the Quartet (including Andy Murray) gathered to pay tribute to Roland Garros' favourite son. During their epic final, the two leaders of Gen Now left not merely a mark but a part of themselves - sweat, guts, heart, soul, tenor, timbre – on the Chatrier, appropriately alongside Rafa's footprint. And then asked the world, guys, do you see us now? We knew them and of them earlier but on Sunday we saw Alcaraz and Sinner combined at their brightest and were left almost blinded and breathless by their light. Alcaraz, defending champion, had already won four Grand Slams at the age of 22. Jannik Sinner, 23, is world No.1, a player of clean, linear efficiency, deafening power in his racket and an 18-1 win-loss record for the season before Sunday. When the second week of Roland Garros began, there lurked some moaning about the event being 'flat', without you know who. In their final, Alcaraz and Sinner wiped that slate clean over five hours and marked a milestone in their rivalry. Whenever a match turns into a living creature that grabs you by the throat and keeps you frozen in your spot, its venue too turns in on itself, compact and compressed with no mind space for anything else. And so it was on Sunday, after Sinner took control of the match, with the crowd pushing Alcaraz to respond. Spaniards in the stands chanted his name, the support for Sinner present but heard less. Carlito's faithful were calling for something closer. Something that teetered on the edges which for more than two sets – totalling two hours, 14 minutes – had been under Sinner's reliable boom of a first serve and his control of the court. Until then Alcaraz, a creature of many gifts – control of timing, speed of foot and creative shot-making – appeared a nanosecond off his incisive sharpness of response. Until he was not. There is no knowing where that came from, that switch. Maybe it was when Sinner was bearing down towards the finish line. Maybe those three match points. The expression often heard and uttered of athletes 'raising their game'. We felt it happen and saw with our eyes how it is done. For Sinner until he had three match points, Alcaraz from that point on for refusing to let go. He climbed into Sinner's serve and covered the court like a fiend, created angles running around his backhand, slicing the court into narrower and narrower slivers from where there were points to be won. Every time the crowd thought Sinner had sealed a point, Alcaraz extracted enough reach to put racket to ball at its most distant end. From the first time he had found his groove in the third set, Alcaraz drew fuel and lift from the crowd. Every break of serve, every game held after fighting off a Sinner resurgence was responded to like he'd won the damn thing. Alcaraz shook his fist at the stands as he passed by to serve or back to his chair, egging them on to egg him on. The entire Chatrier village, and Alcaraz said it himself later, helped raise their defending champion back from match points down on the way to his second title. Even as the world thought Sinner had faded, being broken early in the fifth, he hauled himself back at the tail end of the match, levelling the set and pushing Alcaraz to reach within. Or maybe from somewhere beyond. At 5-6, 15-30 down, Sinner at the centre of the net, everything covered, Alcaraz created a narrow cross court forehand that went across his opponent before he could twitch. It was a shot of great physical capability but also an athletic imagination whose range is only just being comprehended. Cheering and chanting are deliberate responses, but the outbreaks of nervous shrieks gasping, collective intakes of breaths – that was 15,000 instincts finding expression. Both Sinner and Alcaraz, world No.1 and world No.2, are in their early twenties, just out of boyhood, their faces not yet crystallised into the men they will become. No matter how different they are on the outside, these are worthy rivals cut from the same competitive cloth. At two different points in the match, one early, one late, both men called the line for his adversary's serve when the match situation was testing them. Alcaraz for a Sinner serve down the tee that was called a fault by a line judge. Sinner for an Alcaraz wide serve even as the umpire was getting down from her chair, scuffing the ground beneath his foot and sparing her the trouble. These two twentysomethings at the top of men's tennis today carry their lineage well. As the reporters streamed back into their work room, one man was heard asking, 'What did we do to deserve this?' For someone at their first Roland Garros ever, mon dieu, what indeed?
