Before I dive into the details of the game, the Florida Panthers need to see how the Bruins played last night and model that.
Throughout the game, Bruce Cassidy’s side was efficient. The team’s forecheck kept the Panthers on edge in their own zone, their attacks were calm and patient, and the players stayed disciplined throughout most of the game.
So before I get to the Panthers, hats off to Boston last night; they played a very mature game of hockey.
Anyways, now onto Florida. One of the ways that Boston was able to play so mature was their ruthlessness off their forecheck.
