It's been seven months since Joel Quenneville was hired as coach of the Florida Panthers, and he thinks he has a pretty good sense of his new market.
"If we win, the place will be full," Quenneville said. "But we've got to win."
It isn't exactly an easy task -- especially considering how hard it is to break through in the top-heavy Atlantic Division -- but after a quarter of the 2019-20 season, Quenneville's Panthers are in decent shape. Twenty games in, Florida is 10-5-5 and holding on to the third Atlantic Division playoff spot (thanks, in part, to the slow-starting Tampa Bay Lightning and slumping Toronto Maple Leafs).
