Gallant: "We're Going To Expect The Same Thing This Year"

Interviews-wqam

Florida Panthers head coach Gerard Gallant joined the Joe Rose Show on 560 WQAM to discuss the Panthers busy offseason, additions through free agency and his excitement for the upcoming season.

"Last year we had an excellent team that competed, we're going to expect the same thing this year, we upgraded our roster. "

On advancing in the playoffs: "We're definitely skilled enough and talented enough to do that but it's a matter of putting it together.  Work comes first, you can have the talent and the skill but you need some good workers and we have done a good job of that every night for the past few years."

On locking up the young players: "We talked about it and it was a big part of our ownership group to go out and get those guys signed. They're all good hockey players, we believe in all those players, they all had good seasons last year and they are all long term contracts so there's a good future in Florida."
