Paul Maurice, Panthers Postgame: Florida Squanders Quick 2-0 Lead, Lose to Calgary Flames

Well, it was it was 2-1 right off kind of the next top and then uh when you score two like that, I think you think you’re going to just generate all you want and when that doesn’t happen, you get some frustration built into your game, some chances that don’t go for you. So, we didn’t move the puck very easily tonight, but the expectation that we should isn’t realistic. we would have to closer support and and probably suffer the things that frustrate us a little bit a little bit differently. A little change in mindset on what our expectations are every time we touch the puck. A lot of shots blocked tonight, but would that still happy with what you did generate? Uh, no, not really. No, I mean, we we get 85 shot attempts. It’s fine. You get 39 to that, but you’ve left an awful lot of zone time. Um, some are some are good blocks. you know, the other team gets paid, too. We be mindful of that. And then I thought maybe two areas there were one-on-one battles, so we weren’t quite as good as we will need to be to expect to win a game. And then a little slowness in our offensive game. You actually get three whole days now without a game. Just how valuable is that at this time? Yeah, you know what? We’re you’ve got to take the chances that you have to recover at the same time. We got a whole bunch of stuff we got to work on and get better. So, this will be a good chance for us to do that. Thank you, coach.

  4. Вот одна ужасная ошибка Пола Мориса и какие последствия……нет больше команды котов, которая ловит мышей, а команда впавших в уныние игроков……без Баркова, Ткачака и Куликова, выясняется играть совсем не могут и не хотят……а уныние тяжкий грех……БОГ еще больней может ударить……чемпионы продолжайте бороться, играть и думать! БОГ вам в помощь!

  7. Flames played tough at center ice and it was definitely difficult to get the puck through. What I saw was a higher than normal amount of passes that failed to connect. At times, players weren't in the right place to receive passes. Cats need to move the puck out of their own end more quickly. We could have used more edge and more desire in this game, but you're not going to have that for 82 games. The good news is that at least the team has started to score: don't forget a few weeks ago, we couldn't buy a goal. Another positive note is that some of the line combinations are starting to gel. In general, I think the coaches and players are really giving their best.
