Pavel Zacha sends warning to the Panthers top players ahead of game 4
Ahead of game 4 against the Florida Panthers, Boston Bruins forward Pavel Zacha sent a stern message regarding the treatment of their captain, Brad Marchand.
Marchand was sidelined during game 3 after receiving what many believe was a sucker punch from Panthers' Sam Bennett.
Zacha stated,
"To go after our captain, that's not okay with us. We're ready to be physical again today and be a little bit harder on them."
His words underscored the Bruins' dissatisfaction with the aggressive play against their leader and signaled their intent to ramp up their physicality in the upcoming game.

"To go after our captain, that's not okay with us. We're ready to be physical again today and be a little bit harder on them."
The Bruins, clearly upset by the incident, are gearing up to protect their teammates and assert themselves more forcefully on the ice.
This heightened physical approach is a direct response to the events of game 3, and the team is poised to make their presence felt in what promises to be a highly charged game 4.
