SAD NEWS: Boston Bruins announced that David Pastrňák is Leaving immediately after Facing…..
The Boston Bruins are on the brink of elimination after losing a third straight playoff game to the Florida Panthers.
Sunday night’s 3-2 loss in Game 4 at TD Garden had another controversial no-call that hurt the Bruins, and once again centers around Florida’s Sam Bennett.
Bennett was already a villain in Boston heading into Sunday night’s Game 4 after his extremely questionable hit (and sucker punch) on Brad Marchand early in Game 3. Marchand did not play in Game 4 with an upper-body injury, leaving the Bruins without their captain.
The Boston Bruins are down to their last life. After dropping Game 4 by a 3-2 final score, the Bruins now trail the Florida Panthers 3-1 in the series.
They now must win all three of their next games against the Panthers, which will be far from easy.
This series has been immensely frustrating for the Bruins on many levels. They have been outplayed, and the calls have not gone their way.
Panthers forward Sam Bennett has been the subject of controversy since returning from injury in this series.
He, of course, injured Bruins captain Brad Marchand with a sucker punch and did not receive any discipline from the league.
He then scored the game-tying goal after pushing Charlie Coyle into Jeremy Swayman.
The NHL did not rule the play as goalie interference when the Bruins challenged.
