With the Bruins trying to keep their season alive ahead of a do-or-die Game 6, Boston brought out a postseason legend to fire up TD Garden before another heated postseason bout with the Panthers on Causeway Street.
Just ahead of puck drop between the Bruins and Panthers, former Bruins goaltender and 2011 Conn Smythe Trophy winner Tim Thomas served as the team’s fan banner captain — with the Garden crowd erupting as soon as he was showcased on the Garden videoboard.
