Peter Laviolette has no time for your Stanley Cup Final shenanigans

This is not Peter Laviolette's first rodeo.

The Predators' head coach is in the third Stanley Cup Final of his career, all of them with different teams.

So it comes as no surprise that he's focused on the task at hand and won't change how he manages his team while he's in the spotlight.

Before Game 1 even started, NBC showed a clip of Laviolette addressing the Predators in the locker room where he casually unleashed a four letter curse word on national television.

WARNING: Explicit language in the video below.

The clip gained so much traction online that play-by-play man Mike "Doc" Emrick apologized to viewers immediately after the game came back on the air following the first commercial break of the first period.

Not much later in the evening, P.K. Subban looked as if he scored the game's first goal, but it was overturned due to Filip Forsberg being a hair offside. The Penguins, who had been on their heels to that point, would immediately rattle off three goals to end the period.

As both teams made their way to the dressing room, Laviolette had some choice words for the officiating crew.

Needless to say he was not happy with their assessment of the goal.

Finally, analyst Pierre McGuire asked Laviolette about the Penguins' style of play. A question the coach had no problem swatting away with his words.

"What do (the Penguins) do that might cause your team some problems?" McGuire asked.

Laviolette took a long, hard look up at the scoreboard and retorted, "They've got seven shots, Pierre, 32 minutes into the game. We gotta keep moving ahead. We're doing OK."

Indeed. Nashville held Pittsburgh shotless for 37 minutes before Jake Guentzel fired the eventual game-winner past Pekka Rinne.

The game didn't end the way Laviolette and his team wanted it to, but if Game 1 was any indication, the coach is ready to play and he won't let anyone stand in his way.
