Kevin Dineen didn't sugarcoat any words when asked why Kris Versteeg was a healthy scratch Saturday night against Washington. "That's indicative of his [Versteeg's] play the last week," Dineen said. "Steeger's looked really frustrated over the last three games and in all honesty he hasn't played well." Yikes! For his part, Versteeg is handled the benching as best as he could. "This is the first time going through this", said Versteeg. "It's not pleasant. I want to help the guys, and I've played for some pretty good teams. It's up to the coaches who they want to put on the ice." The Panthers next play on Tuesday against Edmonton and will be interesting to see if Versteeg gets back into the lineuo.
