The Boston Bruins and Florida Panthers matchup is must-watch entertainment, and it was proven tonight with a massive brawl.

It has been a wild game, where the Boston Bruins have seen Jeremy Swayman look ‘human’ for the first time this post-season, having been pulled for 2023 Vézina trophy winner Linus Ullmark.

As the game was dying down, the Boston Bruins and Florida Panthers, possibly sparked by Brad Marchand hitting Matthew Tkachuk earlier in the game, a full on hockey brawl started.

Pat Maroon was ejected in consequence, meaning he will not return to game 2.

This is as good as playoff hockey gets! This Florida Panthers team is built on toughness, and the Boston Bruins are full of culture that brings the best out of its players. We saw the Bruins destroy the Panthers two nights ago, and now we are seeing things the other way around.

It is entirely possible we don’t see a matchup quite this good for the rest of the Stanley Cup Playoffs!
