PANTHERS POSTGAME QUOTES – APRIL 6, 2021
Head Coach Joel Quenneville
“It was a hard-fought game. I thought we had a chance to get a couple there early in the game and didn’t…The last couple of games against them could have gone either way and we’re on the short end of it. They’re a good hockey team.”
Defenseman Anton Stralman
“I thought it was a good game. Two good hockey teams, that’s really what it’s about, that’s why it’s tight. They got some good bounces for them, and that kind of decided it tonight. I think you can draw a lot of good things out of this game for both teams.”
Forward Aleksander Barkov
“There’s not a big difference on the ice between the two teams. Both teams are playing really well and not giving much. All five games have been tight. I expect all the other games are going to be tight too, we’ve just got to find a way to win those.”
