With the Panthers finally making the playoffs after all this time, much has been made about Stephen Weiss' dedication to the franchise.
Few would have blamed Weiss had he asked out of South Florida when given the chance, but he decided to stick it out with the team that drafted him at the 2001 draft held in Sunrise.

“We got some help, but we put ourselves in that position,'' Tallon said. “I'm so proud of our players and staff for sticking with it. They gave their hearts and soul to this. This came from within. The character of this group is second to none. It's been a real eventful year. They all believe in one another. They deserve this.''
“The big picture is it's been a hard-fought, enjoyable year,'' Dineen said. “They put the work in and it's nice to see that it pays off. There was a lot of effort – and money – to make this thing work. There's a lot of credit to go around.''

Tavalyi szezonhoz képest + 20 pontunk van, esély a PO-ra, tehetséges játékosok, kiváló képességű kapusok, szimpatikus edző, nagy győzelmek, váratlan vereségek, jó sorozatok, hullámvölgyek.
“It's hard to express the disappointment,'' coach Kevin Dineen said. “There is a little shock by all of us, a little surprise that the game got away from us and we didn't play that way for 60 minutes. We had a great home crowd and we fed off that enthusiasm early.''

The Panthers, whose playoff drought is the longest in NHL history, have held first place in the Southeast for 123 days this season, including the last 38.
"It's an exciting time for us, for sure," Dineen said. "We're confident, but also we understand there's still lots of hockey to be played in this season. It's quiet confidence with the understanding that, as always, work has to come before any kind of carrots. Certainly our players are ready to go in and put in a solid effort tonight."
Obviously, there's a lot of clarity that we can do things here at home," Dineen said. "There's still some work to do, and we need to go out and take care of our business. It's right there in front of us."
"You want to take anything the first opportunity you get," Campbell said. "We know what our schedule is like. It's been grueling over the last couple of weeks. It's a good challenge. If we play like we played in Detroit, we're going to have a lot of success.
"We're excited as a group," veteran defenseman Ed Jovanovski said. "We've worked all year for games like this. We obviously know the importance of it, what it means to this group of guys, this franchise."
Detroit Red Wings defenseman Kyle Quincey has been suspended, without pay, for one game for charging Florida Panthers forward Tomas Kopecky during NHL Game #1183 in Detroit on Sunday, April 1, the National Hockey League's Department of Player Safety announced today.
Detroit Red Wings defenseman Kyle Quincey will have a hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety Monday afternoon following his elbowing major on Florida's Tomas Kopecky in Sunday's game.
The play in question occurred at 5:38 of the third period of Detroit's 2-1 shootout win over the Panthers. Quincey receieved a five-minute elbowing major and a game misconduct on the play.
