When it was over, when the magic didn’t appear Saturday, when the Florida Panthers lost as many games at home in a bad week as they had all this season, this is how their coach, Andrew Brunette, framed it all.
“If we play like we did today, we’ll be fine,’’ Brunette said.
They’ll be fine. The Panthers third straight loss at home to Edmonton, 4-3, was a matter of missed chances, a better goalie on the other side, some risky ventures turned into odd-man rushes and the kind of afternoon that brings some perspective to their scorching season.
