Bill Peters Not Happy With Home Loss To Florida

from Chip Alexander of the News & Observer,

The team that works the hardest, that’s most determined, that shows the will to win comes away with the win.

That was the Florida Panthers on Tuesday against the Carolina Hurricanes, coming away with a 4-1 victory at PNC Arena.

Canes coach Bill Peters didn’t have to digest this game very long or analyze game strategy.

“I didn’t think we had much — of anything,” Peters said. “There weren’t many aspects, many areas of the game that I liked.

“I didn’t think we started on time and I didn’t think we competed. I didn’t think we won any races and we didn’t look like we were hungry to get to the puck.”

The Panthers (2-1-0) were playing the night after a bruising 1-0 loss in Philadelphia to the Flyers. Not that it showed. Florida was the fresher, better team much of the game.

“They worked harder,” Peters said. “They were desperate, they were hungrier and they played harder for sure.”

Asked about being surprised by the Canes’ listlessness, especially early in the game, Peters said simply, “I didn’t see that coming.”
