“I think that was a pretty strong reflection of what my feelings were on his play and that’s not a one-game snapshot. I don’t do that based on one game. I think there’s been a stretch of games where he …is such an important leadership role for this team need to play a higher level of hockey.”
-Kevin Dineen, head coach of the Florida Panthers on the recent play of Kris Versteeg who played a little over a minute in the 3rd period last night. Via Harvey Fialkov of the SunSentinel.

That’s an old fashioned butt kicking. There’s really nothing to say. I can work though .-.-. I’ve got nothing. I always try to be a glass-half-full kind of guy but [Friday] there’s nothing to say. We were very porous and didn’t create any offense. We got our tails handed to us and there’s no excuse.

“When I’m screaming like a fool on the bench what you do is you set a precedent with the referees and I’ll hang myself on that one because what we’re trying to do is get a lot of hits to the head out of the game and there were so many plays that I felt were dangerous plays.
“When you put that into a refs mind that you’re frustrated, the game obviously became lopsided and very disappointing with the officiating tonight.’’
-Kevin Dineen, head coach of the Florida Panthers. More on the game tonight from Harvey Fialkov of the SunSentinel.

“I don’t think we tried hard enough. There are a lot of little things that go on during the course of a game. .-.-. That’s six periods in a row that we showed little snapshots here and there, but we’re a far way away from where we were four or five days ago. We need to address that and soon. .-.-. We got outworked in our home building and that has some sting to it. It’s the first time for a lot of us who are new here. It’s got to stop right now.’‘
