PANTHERS POSTGAME QUOTES – MARCH 23, 2021
Head Coach Joel Quenneville
“You lose a key guy, but it’s a good test on the whole group.”
“We started to get our way as the game progressed, more so in the third (period).”
Forward Noel Acciari
“We had a slow start and kind of dug ourselves into a bit of a hole, but I liked our end of the second (period) and most of the third (period). We didn’t give up and we played to the buzzer.”
