Panthers declawed
Boston 5 – Florida 1 en (Quarter Finals Bruins 1-0) Not only did the Bruins goaltender Swayman perform his usual brick wall imitation but Boston’s offense came alive in the second period scoring three goals in less than seven minutes.
The Panthers poured on the SOG launching 30 shots over the second and third periods, scored the all-important first goal, but could not score on three power play opportunities and goaltender Bobrovsky was abnormally porous.
As a layman I will never understand why a head coach whose team is down by three with approximately four minutes remaining in a game where his team could only score once, pull the goaltender as if somehow that will generate three goals.
