The Florida Panthers once again eliminated the Boston Bruins for a second season in a row. After the game, their star forward Matthew Tkachuk spoke about the opportunity to play the New York Rangers in the Eastern Conference Finals. He also took a shot at the city of Boston for their treatment of his team.
Many fans and others online believed that this was done on purpose by someone who was a Boston Bruins fan looking to give their team an advantage. Despite the adversity, the Florida Panthers pulled out the win and their social media team took a dig at the Boston Bruins themselves.
