Craig Berube on the high probability of a "nasty" series vs. the Panthers: "I'm not worried about it at all... Our team is ready for it"
Briefly

Coach Craig Berube addressed key topics after Saturday's practice about the upcoming series against the Florida Panthers. He highlighted Scott Laughton's impressive playoff performance, confirming he is unharmed from a recent block. Laughton’s integration into the team shows he has become indispensable. Berube also acknowledged the insight former Panthers players on the team can provide and praised goaltender Anthony Stolarz's performance, suggesting he is well-prepared for facing his former team. Emotional stability and discipline were also stressed as critical elements for success in playoffs.
Berube: No, he is all good. It is the type of thing you need in the playoffs. Great block by him, putting his body on the line. That's what you need.
Berube: Definitely. Even before the playoffs, he was. He got comfortable and built some chemistry. Sometimes, it takes some time when you make trades.
Berube: Yeah, I've had discussions with them. There are things you might not know. It is more mindset stuff for me with those guys.
Berube: Well, he has deserved it. He showed it down the stretch and in the first round.
