The Boston Bruins winger Trent Frederic was only known as a tough guy, until his recent breakout seasons in 2022-2023 when Jim Montgomery took the reigns of the big bad Bruins.

In a shocking statement by the forward, Trent Frederic may be friends with Panthers winger Matthew Tkachuk, but the hatred between the teams themselves is palpable.

«I can't single out one guy, but I'll just say the whole Florida Panthers team,» Frederic told «Jake's Takes» on YouTube. «I would love to; I would fight all of them.»

The Bruins and Panthers history is teeming with the makings of a rivalry, as they were eliminated by the Panthers in the 1st round of the 2023 playoffs, a 7 game series.

The two teams have a history of shared hatred, so it would make sense that Frederic root for the Oilers in the Stanley Cup Finals.

«I'm leaning towards Edmonton,» Frederic said. «After (Boston) is out, I normally don't have a team that I want to win or anything. I have teams that I don't want to win, but that's it. Once we lose, I kind of hope no one could win, but that's not how it works.»
