Linus Ullmark Eviscerated By Twitter for Soft OT Winner as Bruins Lose to Panthers

The Florida Panthers live to see another day.

The Panthers defeated the Boston Bruins 4-3 in overtime in Game 5 of their first-round series at TD Garden to force a Game 6.

After a back-and-forth game, Matthew Tkachuk played hero for the Panthers, scoring the game-winning overtime goal off a brutal turnover from Bruins goaltender Linus Ullmark, who appeared to have some sort of miscommunication with defenseman Matt Grzelcyk.

WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!? ud83eudd2b<br><br>Matthew Tkachuk keeps the <a href="https://twitter.com/FlaPanthers?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@FlaPanthers</a> season alive thanks to his <a href="https://twitter.com/SUBWAYCanada?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@SUBWAYCanada</a> OT winner! <a href="https://t.co/3eR30WDLqV">pic.twitter.com/3eR30WDLqV</a>

With an opportunity to clinch an early berth in the second round, this is a loss that will certainly sting for the Black and Gold, which outshot the Panthers 47-25 and dominated the Cats for much of the night.
