This was the opposite of last game, where they lost, but didn’t play awful. Last night was just plain bad. Game notes below:
– Sam Bennett had one of the dirtiest hits I’ve ever seen. He straight up punched Brad Marchand and should be suspended. On our end, Marchy is out at least two games which is a huge blow. I really hope someone has a big hit on Bennett or challenges him to a fight. It’s fitting the Panthers bandwagon fans throw rats on the ice, because their whole team is filled with them.
– The Panthers dominated all game and had double the shots of the Bruins. You are not going to win in the playoffs with those numbers.
– The Bruins need to be way more disciplined. They keep giving the Panthers Power Play opportunities and last night the Panthers completely took advantage. They also still continue to have terrible in zone turnovers that lead to goals.
The B’s need to put this game away and start playing with some heart. Maybe Marchand’s injury will finally give them a spark.
