The Florida Panthers are getting ready for the Boston Bruins on Friday night, which looks to be a fierce game. Both sides are prepared for a fierce struggle in Game 3, with the series knotted at one game each.
Matthew Tkachuk of the Panthers is looking forward to the playoff atmosphere. With a focus on the intensity of playoff hockey, Tkachuk said, “It’s the best time of year.”
Tensions were high during the previous game, when Tkachuk and Bruins star David Pastrnak got into an unusual altercation. Both players demonstrated their spirit of competition, even in their attacking duties.

The game produced a frenzy of penalty minutes, with 12 misconducts called in the third period alone, even though the Panthers emerged victorious, 6-1.
Jim Montgomery, the coach of the Boston Bruins, did not anticipate any hostility from the previous game. Although he understands the animosity between the two teams, he commends Pastrnak and Tkachuk for their sportsmanship throughout their altercation.
