• Dave Hyde: Andrew Brunette helped Florida Panthers to NHLs best season but is he fighting for his job these playoffs?
• The public hallmark of Andrew Brunette’s coaching style with the Florida Panthers is compass-point directness. He’s always sounds on target. Asked about early problems in the Washington playoff series, he said flatly, “We’re playing nervous.” Asked how he wanted his team to play trailing early that series, he said, “Hopefully mad.” “Absolutely,’ he admitted how frustration weighed on his players this Tampa Bay series due to their staggering power-play failure. “Angry, hungry and not to be denied,” he said Saturday in underlining the mindset for Sunday’s Game 3, a T-shirt-worthy...
