We really didn't test that guy. It was an easy night for him. We made him look good.

We can't watch how the other teams are playing. We can't expect to get any help from other teams because it's not just one team we're trying to catch. There are a couple of teams between us and the playoffs.

We didn't play well. This was our worst game in a couple weeks. But we found a way to win, and that's positive.

When I came here this training camp, the only thing that was the same was the Panthers logo on your jersey. Everything else has been changed here. That's what we definitely needed, a fresh start for our hockey club.
definitely four guys maybe power three
We've still got Krajicek and Bouwmeester as well. You definitely need four guys on the power play, maybe even three units during the year.
