Jim Montgomery calls out the Panthers just hours before game
As we find ourselves in the early stages of the 2023-24 NHL season, each game holds significant weight, and tonight's showdown between the Florida Panthers and the Boston Bruins is no exception.
Last season, the Boston Bruins, sitting atop the league, experienced a humbling exit in the first round of the playoffs courtesy of the Florida Panthers.
To make it stinger, the Panthers went on to reach the Stanley Cup Final, leaving the Bruins with plenty to ponder despite a remarkable regular season. With this recent history fresh in their minds, Bruins' head coach Jim Montgomery wants to ensure his players understand that tonight's game is more than just another date on the calendar.
"It's not just one of 82. No. They ended our season. They went all the way to the Finals. Our summers were miserable until the Finals were over. And that's because they beat us. So yeah, this means more." - Jim Montgomery.
The Bruins have maintained their impressive form this season with a 7-0-1 record, whereas the Florida Panthers hold a 4-3-0 record.
Montgomery's words are sure to resonate with his players, setting the stage for a potentially intense matchup tonight.
