DALLAS – He couldn't bring himself to do it. Not even one little peek. No, Winnipeg Jets coach Paul Maurice admits he boycotted the Stanley Cup final, saying the wound was still too fresh and too deep to park himself in front of a television set.

"I didn't watch a minute of it. Because I didn't need the anger that goes with it," Maurice admitted Friday as he spoke at a downtown Dallas hotel just a few hours before the 2018 NHL draft.
