Things got a bit out of hand between the Bruins and the Panthers at the end of Game 2

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.

Tempers calmed briefly, earlier than the ultimate seconds of the sport bought actually out of hand. Scrums broke out everywhere in the ice, with Boston’s Derek Forbort, Nick Foligno, Tyler Bertuzzi, and Trent Frederick all dusting it up with whichever Panther they may discover. Frederick and Florida’s Ryan Lomberg bought into a good tussle, and all the aforementioned gamers — and Florida’s Radko Gudas —  have been assessed ten-minute misconducts.

The Panthers despatched a message to the Bruins with a convincing street win on Wednesday night time. However the Bruins despatched a message on the finish that they will not settle for being pushed round.

It units to stage for a really fascinating Recreation 3 on Friday night time.
