Vinnie Viola did not save the Panthers. Well, not immediately. MarkLazerus doesn't have the characters to list Florida's numerous gaffes. They were a joke. How did things turn around? 'There was no magic bullet. ... It’s been a lot of hard work.'

“Let’s get guys who are competitive,” he said. “Let’s get guys who love hockey, who really value everything about being an NHL player, and are like, ‘I get to play hockey and I want to win.’ Patric, he’s the guy. He’s a special guy. I think he was far more important than any of us realized at the time. He might have realized it.”

“Even the food, the sourcing of the food, when you eat the food, which food — all of that,” Zito said. “Sometimes I’m like, ‘Guys, would you put something on the plane that says Frito-Lay on it?’” “As players, we just care about our thing on the ice,” Bobrovsky said when asked about the sudden organizational stability. “The management’s doing a really good job of taking care of us off the ice. Little small details. It’s great to be part of this organization. We have the athletic department, we have the goalie department — all those little things make a big picture, and it makes a big difference.”“Now everybody does,” he said.

“Every year, we’ve been taking steps toward the right direction,” Barkov said. “As a team and as an organization, we’re doing the right things every day on the ice, off the ice. And it’s starting to pay off.” They have the owner. They have the GM. They have the coach. They have the players. They have the advantage of playing in an income-tax-free state and the appeal of year-round sunshine. They shattered team records in sponsorships, ticket sales and TV ratings last season.
