BOSTON — The tip of Recreation 2 between the Bruins and the Panthers bought a bit out of hand. Tempers flared from each ends as Florida completed off a 6-3 win at TD Backyard, which led to some questionable hits, just a few wrestling matches, and an entire lot of trash discuss between the 2 groups.
All of that ought to make for an fascinating Recreation 3 in Florida on Friday night time.
The Bruins bought pushed round by an aggressive Panthers staff for many of Wednesday night time, and began to push again as Florida closed out its win. A few of these pushbacks could have gone a bit too far.
With just below two minutes to go, Tomas Nosek delivered a excessive elbow to the chin of Florida’s Eric Staal. Play was halted after Staal remained on the ice, however Nosek was not hit with a penalty.

The Panthers weren’t very happy with that, which led to a NSFW (however fairly entertaining) hot-mic exchange between the two teams.
“Good hit,” Staal sarcastically stated to Nosek. “Good clear hit. That was f—— good. Good clear hit. Good clear hit. you f—— loser.”
Nosek advised Staal to shush (he used a unique phrase) and that he barely hit him.
The league might even see that play in a different way, and Nosek will doubtless be having a dialog with the Division of Participant Security within the close to future.

A prominent Boston-area doctor accused in several lawsuits of sexually assaulting more than 200 former patients was indicted by a grand jury on rape charges.
Dr. Derrick Todd allegedly assaulted two women during examinations in December 2022 and June 2023 at the Charles River Medical Associates in Framingham, Mass., the Middlesex County District Attorney announced Thursday.
Todd, a rheumatologist, appeared in Middlesex Superior Court Friday after he handed himself over to police the previous night.
The two women had either a pelvic exam or pap smear with the doctor when the alleged assault occurred, NBC Boston reported.

The patients alleged the exams went beyond “normal.”
One of the women endured enough pain for her to scream at Todd to stop but the doctor didn’t listen and continued the exam.
The second patient alleged she didn’t give Todd consent to perform the specific examination but the doctor went ahead despite the rejection, the outlet reported.
Todd pleaded not guilty to the two rape charges.
He was held on a $10,000 bail.

A judge ordered Todd to surrender his passport, not have any contact with his alleged victims, and give up all medical licenses.
Claims of abuse from Todd date back to 2010 but only surfaced in 2023 after Brigham and Women’s Faulkner Hospital received anonymous complaints.
Todd is the former chief of clinical rheumatology at the Boston hospital but resigned after 14 years in 2023 when two other physicians questioned the appropriateness of pelvis exams for his rheumatology patients, the Boston Globe reported.
Over 200 of Todd’s former patients accused him of performing unnecessary pelvic floor therapy, breast examinations, testicular examinations, and rectal examinations.
The accusers include over 200 women and several men between teenagers and 60-year-olds.

Attorneys for 180 of the former patients say the two rape charges are just the start of the doctor’s legal battle.
“It’s just the beginning of the criminal case against Dr. Todd, but it does help validate the civil claims that Lubin & Meyer is pursuing on behalf of so many of his former patients,” Attorney William Thompson said. “Fundamentally, it’s about a doctor abusing his position. And taking advantage of patients who put their trust in him for his own personal sexual gratification.”
Todd voluntarily ceased his medical practice in Massachusetts in September 2023.
The announcement was made in a letter to the Board of Registration in Medicine.
The class-action lawsuit against Todd also listed the hospital as a defendant for allegedly knowing about the abuse and failing to stop it.
