Paul Maurice, Panthers Postgame: Florida Loses Fourth Straight, Shutout by Buffalo Sabres

Uh we’ll get a better look at him tomorrow. We’ll have probably by Monday we’ll know. What made Alex line so difficult to Oh, he was good. You know, he was uh he played We’ve seen him play those games before. We uh had some action around their net. He made some good saves. Obviously playing a lot of hockey right now, this break coming up. Is this good? Is is there a reset aspect to it, you think? Well, when you’re when you’re not playing the way you want, you’ll take everything as a positive. So, we need the two days rest. That’s seven games and 10 and a half days to start for us. But so it’ll be good to get off, get a practice in. A little bit out of necessity, but a lot of different looks on the power play. Just anything stand out to you? Well, we put up 15 and didn’t get it there. So, we certainly came out with the mentality of shooting a puck tonight, which we didn’t uh we didn’t think we had enough of. Uh but out of sync at times, it seems like every game we talk about how good your goalender was, but Bob, tonight Sergey made a bunch of great saves for sure and and they become more magnified because you’re chasing the game and we get on the power play that much. Something’s got to go for you on the road and then you give up two. We’re usually a pretty good penalty killing team, but we’ve given up a and that’s the difference in the game. It’ll be a onegoal game and um in even strength and we’ve got to find a way to do a little more there with our five on five play. When you have the injuries kind of stack up like this, how do you how do you sort through it? Well, we don’t really I mean, none of our injuries are coming back. So, this is our team. There’s no real point in thinking that you’d be better with the guys. this this is the hockey team that we have and we’ve got to find a way to get a little tighter in in all our little areas and and maybe a little uh little heavier on the net. I think at the other end we get out of the way a little bit on some of those shots. So scratch and claw. Do the past experiences allow you to weather through losing streaks like this a little easier. Well, we we’ve had a we’ve had one of these two of these each year and it’s all part of it. You you always get more out of it. You build more. You learn more when you lose than than when you win. Thanks.
