Ironically, the Bruins were attempting to avoid repeating last year’s devastating result  where, after leading the Panthers 3 – 1, the Bruins allowed the Panthers to win 3 in a row, thus eliminating them  from the playoffs. After defeating Toronto, the Bruins traveled to sunny South Florida to play a well rested Panther team in the second round.

Go Panthers! […]
