All good stuff except for the DBZ reference. 30 minute episodes and 22 minutes were just people screaming while convulsing with bright lights flashing behind them.

Well written, Matt.

After the disaster on ice that was game 2 for Boston, all the pressure is on the Bruins to prove that they belong in this series. They'll probably come out strong from the opening face off, but can they maintain composure and play under control? Or are we going to see more of the team that collapsed into anarchy and threw hissy fits while getting spanked? Seriously, despite all the positive spin in the world, what was Pastrnak thinking in fighting Tkachuk? Why did Montgomery give him the green light? Very poor decision putting a top player at risk.

And, yes, there is a goalie controversy. Both goalies experienced a humbling game that destroyed the narrative on Boston goalkeeping. 4 goals on Swayman, then pulling him. Then 2 relatively quick goals on Ullmark, including a shorty. That has to affect goalie confidence. If the Panthers score 3 before the end of period 2, is Montgomery making another switch?

Look for the Panthers to get past the initial wave of Boston emotion and seek to quiet the crowd in their seats. Score first and put the Bruins between the anvil and the hammer.

Go Panthers!

Tkachuk will be targeted tonight by the Bruins. Maroon basically threatens him about his dirty hits on Pasta. I hope he has his head on a swivel tonight.

Kinda like every game Chukky plays.
If Bs are running around with a boner to settle a score w/Tkachuk, they will lose again.

Appreciate it, man!

Yea, I’m with you on the DBZ Tweet, haha. But I wanted to use Jameson Olive’s post regarding Bennett’s return.

Refs are really going to go all out to keep game 4 score close to try and avoid any mayhem. Whoever is trailing will get most of the power plays

(Some) Boston fans want blood, calling for intentionally injuring Barkov or Tkachuk.
I know they are in the minority, but still, it’s comical.
