Paul Maurice, Panthers Postgame: Detroit Red Wings 4, Florida 1

0503 goal. I mean, I think I liked our great our start tonight better than our last game. Uh, a little slow sometimes getting pucks off our stick. We got an awful lot blocked in here tonight. Um, five on three hurts you a little bit, but I liked our game actually after that for stretches. We got a couple areas that we got to get a lot better at, but um, some of it was all right. Obviously, you learn more losses than wins. That’s especially true early on in the season when you guys are trying to kind of get into that routine rhythm. Yeah. Yeah. There’ll be parts of our some transition things that we beat it up a little bit when we didn’t need to. I didn’t think. And we got much to our for check. I mean, we were in on it, but we didn’t get the zone time. I think we’ll probably be over five minutes, which is a good number for us, but uh I didn’t I don’t think we did enough with it. Obviously, with the injuries, everyone has to step up, but Brad Marshian, three goals last three games been good. like he’s whatever line he goes on, they they get some action and he’s uh he’s such a positive guy on the bench even when things aren’t where you want them, you know, and it translates to how he plays on the ice. Anything jump out about Detroit? One, sorry. Anything jump out about Detroit? They got some new blood. Hamilton gets a couple Yeah. Yeah. No, he’s on the puck. It’s kind of like the goal that he scored. He’s he’s he’s uh he he’ll get it off his stick in those broken plays really good. Um, you know, I haven’t seen him enough to be honest with you. Like I I I was a tight game. Um, that was about it. Yeah. Tight game catching it all night. What can you say about, you know, another strong performance from? Yeah, he’s been really good. He’s going to have to be really good. Those are the games that he excels in. Uh, a little more to the net for us probably just getting some pucks through. We I think we got 25 blocked tonight and that’s a whole lot of offense that you So good on them for blocking them and we’ve got to find a way to get them through. First back to back of the season. What’s the message for the guys at the end of tomorrow in Jersey? Well, I got a message for him but I’m not sharing that yet. Yeah. Yeah. We’re still not quite at our level um in a couple areas and that’s all. I’d like to see the improvement tomorrow. And so we got one line intact right now from last year and I didn’t start that way. So we finished that way. There’s different tendencies on on on players that you have to kind of get used to for sure. Right. So, um for Bennett, both his wingers are different. For Reinhardt, centerman’s different. And um so there’s some growing pains. Sure.
