Carolina Hurricanes coach Rod Brind\'Amour said he was surprised when Florida Panthers coach Paul Maurice asked him not to participate in their series-ending handshake line last week and said he disagreed that it should just be for the players.
Maurice has attempted to start a new tradition in the NHL in which coaches and staff don\'t participate in the handshake line, a decades-old ritual held at center ice after teams are eliminated from the Stanley Cup playoffs.
