2 Truths, 1 Lie About the Bruins After Game 4 Loss to Panthers

Locked On Bruins - Daily Podcast On The Boston Bruins

While it's true the Boston Bruins are being outplayed by a better Florida Panthers team in the second round series of the National Hockey League's Stanley Cup Playoffs, it's also true the Bruins are getting hosed by the officials and the so-called Department of Player Safety.

Locked on Bruins host argues Sam Bennett shouldn't have been in Game 4 after an injurious punch to the face on Brad Marchand, and Bennett's goal should not have counted after he shoved Charlie Coyle into Jeremy Swayman.

At the same time, the Bruins' inability to penetrate Florida's defense and generate shots is proving to be their downfall.

What's the lie? That this Bruins season will be a disappointment if they don't advance to the Conference Finals.

Plus, Don Sweeney is set to address the media Monday. Let's hope he goes full 2002 Salt Lake Wayne Gretzky on the NHL.

Bruins in Big Trouble After Losing Game 3, Marchand

Things aren't looking good for the Boston Bruins. They lost Game 3 by a score of 6-2 to the Florida Panthers, and captain Brad Marchand is day-to-day after an apparent sucker punch delivered by Sam Bennett.

The Bruins were unable to generate much offensively, and have been dominated in the series against the Panthers in terms of the underlying numbers.

Their only hope is to fire away as much as possible, but are the Panthers just a better team? Probably.

Bruins Don't Want to Get Fined + How to Get Back in Series

Boston Bruins general manager Don Sweeney did not at all come out swinging on Monday, deciding to stick to protocols and not say anything that would warrant a fine from the National Hockey League. Sad, because the club should have legit gripes over how the Sam Bennett / Brad Marchand incident was handled, and the goaltender interference non-call on Bennett's Game 4 tying goal.

His focus is on the Bruins getting back in the series, and rightfully so, but that will be a difficult task. Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren offers up a few ways the Bruins can do so, echoing Pat Maroon, who was out there saying nobody on the Florida Panthers wants to fight him, and the Bruins need to get more shots on net.

There's still hope yet for the Bruins. Subscribe and become a daily listener!
