Sounds like goaltender Scott Clemmensen is having a hard time adjusting to the Florida Panthers' system, and is making his frustration well-known. From the Sun-Sentinal (h/t Kukla's Corner):
After allowing seven goals in Saturday's loss to the Capitals in Washington, D.C., including five in a third period he described as "like quicksand out there," Clemmensen said his teammates didn't protect the front of the net well.
When the puck got there, he added, there was such a scramble by the Panthers that "it looked like a fire drill."
I'd say that speaks at least as much to the New Jersey Devils' defence-first system than it does to any problems with the Florida Panthers defence, and it may cast a bit of a shadow over the success that Clemmensen enjoyed last season. I'd be interested to hear if Cats fans are pleased with Clemmensen's performance so far, or if he leaves much to be desired.
