Following the Panthers' 3-2 defeat to the Maple Leafs, head coach Paul Maurice reflected on their performance, expressing concern over the initial third period while praising their solid first two periods. He acknowledged issues with offensive execution, specifically hitting the net, yet emphasized the positives of their game strategy. Maurice also addressed Aleksander Barkov's injury, indicating a day-to-day status, and celebrated goalie Sergei Bobrovsky's milestone of 750 games, highlighting the value of his experience and character.
It is good for us. In our last 44 games, we had 10 sets of games where we were on the front or back half of a back-to-back.
It is frustrating when you are playing poorly and doing a bunch of strange things. That will drive you insane.
I didn't like the first six minutes of the third period. I just didn't think we skated, and then we got hemmed in a little bit.
Upper body, day-to-day. He will play as soon as he is healthy, but I don't think it is a long-term deal.
