PANTHERS POSTGAME QUOTES – FEB. 27, 2021
Head Coach Joel Quenneville
“Fortunate to get the point, came back twice in the third (period) to tie it up…Anything can happen in shootouts. At the end of the night, you look at the last game and tonight, we’ll take points in these games and that’s a positive thing.”
Forward Patric Hornqvist
“We know we have a good team, from our goaltenders up. We have a great coach and he knows how to win. I believe in this group and we have a lot of fun together.”
Goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky
“As I’ve said before, I have big belief in this team’s offensive skill. I just believed that they were going to score and we’re going to get at least one point. It’s unfortunate, it’s tough to lose the way we did.”
“It was a solid game, it’s a big point for us. We’ll have a rest and get ready on Monday.”
