SUNRISE, Fla. — Joel Quenneville will be the first to tell you nobody loves winning more than he does. And it's hard to dispute that.
Chicago saw it first-hand for a decade after he helped guide the Blackhawks to three Stanley Cups. The hunger only intensifies once you get a taste of what it feels like to be on top.
And now Quenneville is trying to recapture that feeling in Florida.
Going into the final day of February, the Panthers sit four points out of a playoff spot. They're battling for their lives in an Eastern Conference that's as competitive as ever and can get in by securing the third seed in the Atlantic Division or one of the two wildcard positions.
