Sam Reinhart<\/a> said.<\/p>\n\u201cSo, I think you have to take it all in. It\u2019s not the League\u2019s first rodeo. They seem to know what they\u2019re doing and how to put on a good show, and to be a part of it, is pretty special.\u201d<\/p>\n
Maurice coached in two previous outdoor games with the Winnipeg Jets \u2013 the 2016 Heritage Classic against the Edmonton Oilers at Investors Group Field in Winnipeg, Manitoba and the 2019 Heritage Classic against the Calgary Flames at Mosaic Stadium in Regina, Saskatchewan. The game-time temperature was 27 degrees Fahrenheit in Regina. The temperature is expected to be in the low 60s or high 50s at puck drop in Miami on Friday.<\/p>\n
So, this will be different for Maurice, but no less enjoyable.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s an incredible experience for everybody,\u201d Maurice said. \u201cI\u2019d like to say I\u2019m proud to be a part of it, like I had nothing to do with it, but I\u2019m really enjoying the idea that the Florida Panthers \u2013 and we give credit to the Tampa Bay Lightning too, as much as that hurts us \u2013 but hockey in Florida is powerful, and because of it, there\u2019s fan interest.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, there\u2019s a value to the League. It makes the League, I think, look really good to have these games in Florida. They\u2019re kind of showing off their product a little bit, so I think it\u2019s great.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Panthers players were wide-eyed as they walked out from the Marlins dugout to the ice for their…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":385896,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,575,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-385895","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385895","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=385895"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385895\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/385896"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=385895"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=385895"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=385895"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
