Jeff O'Neill is no fan of Paul Maurice...

Norv Turner should change his name to Paul Maurice.

I got a good laugh out of this. Jeff O'Neill compared his head coach for 10 of his 11 NHL seasons to embattled Chargers coach Norv Turner, who virtually everyone thinks is a horrible coach.

BTW, O'Neill's twitter account in general is actually hilarious. He's WAY better than Bissonnette. One of the very few accounts I check every day.
 
Jeff can be funny but he can also come across as a total dope.

Paraphrasing... The other day he tried to chirp Rory McIlroy about something and commented that Rory shouldn't be criticizing anyone until he wins a major.. Rory responded and updated Jeff that he's won two.    When Jeff realized he screwed up he tried to pass it off as intentional and he was actually defending Rory and of course tuns it around on those who corrected him. 

Of course I'm sure that during his days with the Leafs he had no issues with coaches and none of it could have possibly been his fault.  ::)
 
Corn Flake if you follow O'Neill on twitter you will notice that he does this all the time.  He tweets well known stats that are wrong and then retweets  some of the best replies.  He calls it fishing for dums dums.

*facepalm* He's such a keeper. Yes I've seen him do things like that before but they were a little less subtle.  When he mentiones the person (in this case, Rory) and that person replies with the correction and you have to explain that back to them ... your joke has bombed - sorry to say.

And this is coming from someone who thinks twitter is a playground for the goofball in all of us.  Jeff just isn't funny.  He clearly has absolutely nothing to do all day.
 
Jeff is a big time golfer. There is no way he didn't know Rory won a major. He is number 1 player in the world. To each his own but I find his twitter really amusing.

It's like the time he tweeted this:

"‏Is it me or does Rex Ryan look like the assistant coach for the cowboys??"

Subtle, yet hilarious.
 
and, yeah, his tweets are often hilarious and entertaining. Loved the one about the kids and the noisy toys, and questioning his wife's decorating skills with the picture of Gretzky. ROTFL

Well it seems he is using the right bait - his comments
 
I don't find him funny at all. Most of his tweets should be reported for spam.

Edit: The tweet that put me over the edge was the one about a deal being done (when it wasn't.) I'm glad to see he saw how unfunny it was and decided to delete it.
 
Did not see a standalone topic for Paul Maurice, and figured not to start a new thread for him.

But he is 1 win shy of 500 in his coaching career.  I find that to be quite impressive.  He's only 47, and already 20th in all-time coaching wins.  Assuming he continues to get opportunities beyond however long he is with Winnipeg, who knows how high he may end up on that list. 
 
Saw Jeff on OTR awhile back and he stated that he had not been on a plane since he retired.  I wonder what role fear of flying played in his professional demise?
 
No Bates that was his skating.  The guy acutally looked like he was moving thru wet concrete.
To bad he lives in King City, gives the place a stink.
