After a tough 4-3 loss to the Maple Leafs, Panthers head coach Paul Maurice expressed confidence in his team's ability to rebound, emphasizing the importance of understanding their game and leveraging leadership. He dismissed fatigue from numerous playoff games as an excuse and acknowledged the need to manage odd-man rushes better. Maurice praised Sergei Bobrovsky's goaltending while highlighting the positive contributions from his third line. Overall, he remains optimistic about the teamâs potential as they head back home.
I didn't love his first game. Up until the fourth one, I don't look at him for any of the first three. We didn't give up a tremendous amount tonight, but the danger on the rush is significant. The goalie is going to be fine.
You have to understand your game. We didn't like our Game 1, but we liked our game tonight. We came out on the road and lost two one-goal games. We'll go back home now.
I thought we were late in the first game on some of those, but we had control of the puck on both of them. On that transition, that is where you would like to be able to hang onto it a little bit more, perhaps.
You have to know your game. We talk about it an awful lot. There was a lot of stuff we liked about our game that we think we can improve on and do more with. We'll take a look at it, and we'll get better.
