PANTHERS POSTGAME QUOTES – FEB. 24, 2021

Head Coach Joel Quenneville

“Goalies can win games, at times you get some goalie wins our way and you get beat by some goalies. I think their goalie was pretty good, I still thought it was a pretty even game.”

“You want to get points and you want to win, we’re in a competitive division. They know how to win and had a good response. We’ll get the three-game set sorted out tomorrow night.”

Forward Brett Connolly

“You’re going to have nights like this. Obviously it’s disappointing, no one’s happy with that. We’ve played really well this year, played really well last game against them, and it’s a three-game series. Looking to bounce back tomorrow.”

Forward Alex Wennberg

“You can’t be upset about it. Just got to forget about this game and focus on the next one.”

“It’s part of hockey. Every team is tough to play against, and they were the better team. Right now it’s a best-of-three so we’ve got a new chance tomorrow.”
