No other way to describe it, panthers were the better team cause they wanted it moreThe Boston Bruins, who had high hopes for a deep playoff run, were left to wonder what went wrong. Despite their regular season success, they were unable to carry that momentum into the playoffs and were eliminated in the first round.Barstool Sportsbook@BSSportsbookGoodnight Bruins fans. 2029Goodnight Bruins fans. https://t.co/CoElQ8NatlFor the Panthers, however, the victory was a huge boost of confidence. They had battled back from the brink of elimination and were able to knock off the top seed in the NHL. As they prepare to face the Toronto Maple Leafs in the second round, they know they have got their work cut out for them, but they are also riding a wave of momentum that could carry them deep into the playoffs.
