Panthers head to Boston for Game 3 while Canucks seek 2-0 lead on Oilers

The Florida Panthers know what awaits them on Friday night. A fired-up crowd in Boston , an angry bunch of Bruins, probably a good amount of chirping and a tension the likes of which can only be created during the NHL playoffs.“The best time of year,” Tkachuk said. “Everybody knows that.”

“I don’t think there’s going to be any spillover to the next game,” Bruins coach Jim Montgomery said. “They’re two teams that are rivals. We played each other last year, playing each other this year, it’s going to be a series. And what I’m really proud of, I’m proud of Pasta. There’s so many guys out there pushing after a whistle when the linesmen are there. Pasta and Tkachuk, they just went out there and fought. That’s what you like. You like your hockey players to be competitors.

The Panthers and Bruins – teams that met in a seven-game series in Round 1 last year, won by Florida in an upset – are pretty close groups as well. And Wednesday’s events probably brought the respective rooms even closer.
