PANTHERS POSTGAME QUOTES – MARCH 7, 2021

Head Coach Joel Quenneville

“Our season to date, we’ve been pretty pleased with our compete level, our battle level. Today we weren’t great in that area. They came up with a lot of pucks, they checked well, but we didn’t give up much.”

“He seems to have given us some life here. Marchy’s [forward Mason Marchment] come in here and makes a lot of little plays, made a nice touch going down the ice…He’s moving around the line up and getting some quality looks based on his efforts. Good couple of weeks for him.”

Forward Jonathan Huberdeau

“They’re a good team, they played fast and physical. We didn’t have much time to make plays, which is why we didn’t get as many shots on goal tonight.”

“We’ve just got to forget about this one, just be more ready for when they come to our building next game.”
