Ahead of game 4 of the Boston Bruins and the Florida Panthers, the plan for Boston is simple, and that's to respond after taking a 6-2 beating in Game 3 and losing captain Brad Marchand in the process.
Along with the blowout, Marchand was hit by Sam Bennet that forced him to hit the showers early for good and even miss game 4 and likely Game 5.
The Bruins and their fans aren't exactly thrilled with the Panthers' attitude throughout the series, and they're not afraid to say it.
Pavel Zacha, said they're going to bring the physicality in response to the Panthers going after their captain Alexander Barkov.
To go after our captain, that's not okay with us. We're ready to be physical again today and be a little bit harder on them.
And then there's Trent Frederic, who's rallying the troops, promising to step up their game to fill Marchand's skates while he recovers. Now that's what I call teamwork.
It's not going to be one guy it's going to be all of us as a group...he brings much more than what you see on the ice so we're going to have to do that as well and have a lot of guys step up and talk.
So, here's the big question – can the Boston Bruins bounce back and knock out the Florida Panthers to advance to the third round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs? Strap in, because this showdown is about to get wild!
