It just didnt show when he hit the ice. Berra made 42 saves and Kris Russell scored at 1:32 of overtime, lifting the Calgary Flames to a 3-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday night. CHICAGO -- New Florida coach Tom Rowe met with captain Derek MacKenzie and the rest of the?Panthers leadership on Monday. He talked to the whole team on Tuesday.Rowe knows Gerard Gallant is well-liked in Floridas locker room, and Rowe wanted to be as transparent as possible on why the coach was let go just 22 games into the season.I came in and I told them, I said Listen, were not going to change a whole lot. We need to tweak a few things, Rowe said.But if I came in here and wasnt sensitive to that, it just wouldnt work. I love our room. I love our leadership group, and weve got the right guys to help us get going.The good news for Rowe is the Panthers dont have to travel very far. They were on the fringe of the Eastern Conference playoff race heading into their first game since Gallant was fired.We all feel very responsible for whats going on, MacKenzie said before Tuesdays matchup with the?Chicago Blackhawks.Quite frankly, our performance to this point hasnt been good enough. Unfortunately, you know, Gerard was the end result of that.The message has been sent and we need to be better, MacKenzie continued, and we will be, starting tonight.Gallant was believed to be the right guy for Florida after he coached the Panthers to a franchise-record 103 points and the Atlantic Division title last season.He got a contract extension in January that runs through the 2018-19 season, and then-general manager Dale Tallon called him an ideal fit for our group.Not so much anymore. At least from the perspective of Floridas front office.The Panthers dropped to 11-10-1 when they blew a 2-0 lead in a 3-2 loss at Carolina on Sunday night, and that was it for Gallant. The players were informed of Gallants dismissal, and the coachs luggage was taken off the team bus that was headed to the airport in Raleigh, North Carolina. Assistant coach Mike Kelly also was fired. Babe Parilli Jersey. .They were pretty blunt, center Vincent Trocheck said. Made a coaching change, that was it.Gallant?then departed the arena in a taxi, drawing criticism from some of the teams fans.It was bad the way it all happened, unfortunately, said Rowe, who was promoted to general manager in May in a front-office shakeup that elevated Tallon to president of hockey operations.It didnt look good, but Ill tell you right now, we respect him and like him, and Gerard and I had a good relationship.The Panthers ownership and other team officials rely heavily on advanced statistics, and Gallant -- who played parts of 11 seasons in the NHL, mostly with the?Detroit Red Wings?-- was not the biggest fan of analytics.But Rowe, who returns to the bench on an interim basis, made it sound as if he was only planning small changes, beginning with Floridas defensive zone coverage.Really big believer in the D-zone being more area than man-on-man, he said.Rowe coached Floridas AHL affiliates in Portland and San Antonio before moving into the Panthers front office. He also served as an assistant with the?Hurricanes?from 2008-11.Hes hard-nosed, old-school kind of guy, said Trocheck, who played for Rowe in the minors. He gets the most of his players by getting them to work hard, make sure everybodys playing the right way.But Trocheck, who liked a handful of pro-Gallant messages on Twitter after the coach was dismissed, said he didnt think coaching was the reason for Floridas disappointing start.Its just a matter of us kind of pulling it together, Trocheck said. Got to come together as a group and realize that we havent been playing our best hockey and we have a lot more to go. ' ' '
