Game 2 proved challenging for the Boston Bruins, who faced a significant 6-1 defeat against the Florida Panthers.

As the game progressed, frustrations escalated, leading to several confrontations on the ice.

A key moment occurred late in the third period when Brad Marchand reacted angrily to Brandon Montour celebrating the Panthers' sixth goal directly in front of him, an incident that quickly gained attention on social media.

Prior incidents included a scrum that resulted in the ejections of Nick Cousins and Pat Maroon, further heating the atmosphere.

Panthers' coach Paul Maurice later accused the Bruins of aggressive play during the blowout. The tension reached a peak when David Pastrnak and Matthew Tkachuk engaged in a lopsided fight, prompting referees to issue misconducts to all players on the ice in an effort to control the game.

Despite these efforts, the animosity continued, setting a combative tone for the remainder of the series. This ongoing rivalry promises intense, physical play as both teams look to assert dominance in upcoming games.
