One of the takeaways from Game 2 of the Bruins-Panthers playoff matchup—aside from Florida evening the series with a lopsided 6-1 win—was the incredible number of penalty minutes logged by both teams.
Continuing what has become a budding rivalry between the postseason opponents, the Bruins elected to keep fighting (literally) long after the actual game was essentially decided on Wednesday. In all, 17 penalties were dolled out over the final period, adding up to 136 penalty minutes.
It may have been a jarring figure for most fans of the modern NHL, in which penalty minutes have generally declined over the last few decades.
