I was honestly shocked the next day Tippett stepped in front of a mic after the whole “pissy” Matheson saga, that there was no acknowledgement at all. I would have vehemently defended my player right away, spoke about how he’s a big leader in our group and his impacts can’t be understated. That would have been a great time to have his players backs.
Paul Maurice went to bat when the media had bad things to say about his best players. He said this about Blake Wheeler last season.

"The goal that you're beaking him on (Tuesday) night, he got put in a real tough spot by a (expletive) backcheck by somebody else," Maurice said, according to TSN. "I'm sensitive to it because I've been in awe of this guy since I got here.
"His worth (ethic), like he's unimpeachable, and his character. How he runs that room and how he plays. He's got 11 points in 10 games."
He continued: "So, I'm not so much protective of Blake Wheeler; I'm more protective of the Winnipeg Jets. You get a guy in your town that plays that hard and is such a fine, fine leader, and a fine man? Let's be real careful.
"If his plus-minus number isn't what you want - like he's prorated out at about 88 points, man. And we're 10 games in, we're 6-3-1, and you're beaking my captain. I'm offended by it."

Maurice is not the greatest coach but that was the right thing to do. Dave had a real chance to back his leading scorer, instead it was business as usual with the media.
