After the final horn: What the Panthers had to say

PrintThe past 24 hours have been a little odd for this Panthers fan because I got to experience it in a new way. Sure, I'm very used to dealing with my team finishing out of the playoffs and watching the jersey ceremony and all that. But this year was different for me because I was right in the center of things. After last nights game I was in the locker room hearing the players feelings after the final game and watching some very confusing confetti fall from the ceiling.
Then, today I was at Incredible Ice watching the players say their goodbyes to each other, the coaches and training staff. Finally, a group of about 5 or 6 of us sat in a room and heard the final comments from Peter DeBoer and Randy Sexton on the season that was, and the off-season ahead.
Follow the jump for some audio clips from those two events, including two short interviews that I did with Michael Frolik and Jason Garrison after last night's game. One of Sexton's comments was particularly interesting...
After the final game:
Nathan Horton postgame- Team wasn't consistent enough to make the Playoffs
Stephen Weiss postgame-Confetti usually means winning the cup
Stephen Weiss postgame-Team needs to get better top to bottom
Peter DeBoer postgame-Team couldn't create identity
Postgame- David interviews Michael Frolik
Postgame- David interviews Jason Garrison
At Incredible Ice:
Peter DeBoer- Surprised by players honesty
Peter DeBoer- One thing he would have changed
Randy Sexton- Most players were sincere in meetings

Sexton needs to go. The Panthers do not need more defense, they need offense. Was he even watching the same games? All I saw this season was one forward take the puck down to the offensive zone, and no one would dare follow. Or what about all the times that the defense took the puck into the offesnive zone because no forward would dare go near the net.
Who are the 5 top forwards that Sexton talks about? No forward on this team has over thirty goals. There are three with 20 goals…How can he be happy with his top 5. FIRE SEXTON AND CO. Who are his top 5 for that matter? Maybe he is talking about another team or got the Panthers confused with someone else.
Those are only some of what he had to say. He did acknowledge that the team needs more offense, though he did play the ‘Booth will be back and that means 30+ goals’ card. Still, it did come up that either through free agency or the draft we had a scoring issue that needed to be addressed.
