Bruins Head Coach Calls Out The Panthers Before Their Game
While we're still in the early stages of the 2023-24 NHL season, that doesn't diminish the significance of the games, especially tonight's match featuring the Florida Panthers and the Boston Bruins.
Last season, the Bruins, who had secured the top spot in the league, suffered a humbling first-round playoff exit at the hands of the Florida Panthers. Adding salt to the wound, the Panthers went on to reach the Stanley Cup Final, leaving Boston to reflect on what went wrong despite a historic regular season. With this history in mind, Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery emphasizes that tonight's game isn't just another date on the calendar for his players.
"It's not one of 82. No. They ended our season. They went all the way to the Finals. Our summers were miserable until the Finals were over. And that's because they beat us. So yeah, this means more." - Jim Montgomery.
Boston has been on a roll this season, boasting a 7-0-1 record going into tonight's game, while Florida holds a 4-3-0 record. With Montgomery's words resonating with his players, tonight's matchup could potentially get intense.
