Sharks center Logan Couture clarified the comments he made Wednesday night following the Sharks' loss to the Kings in LA.
Couture said he wasn't taking a shot at the Florida Panthers when he told reporters the following:
"We could have played in Florida tonight and probably lost that game, too. We just didn’t play well enough to win."
Couture jumped on his Twitter account Thursday to set the record straight.

night and the outcome. I answered no, that we (meaning the Kings and Sharks) could have played in Florida and it wouldn't have mattered.

Some reporters have chosen to try and twist those comments into a slam against the Florida Panthers. Couldn't be further from the truth.

We could have played in a building where we were undefeated and had the same result. All I was saying was we wouldn't have beat the Kings

Anywhere. The arena (Staples Center) was not the issue.
