The Boston Bruins were once again outclassed in Game 3 by the Florida Panthers, losing by a 6-2 final score. Things are not looking good for the Bruins, and it is hard to feel confident about them heading into Game 4.
While this series is rapidly taking a dark turn, Game 3 offered a great moment. Former Bruins defenseman Andrew Ference was the honorary banner captain for the matchup, and he did not disappoint.
With 12:21 left in the second period, Ference got the Bruins crowd going by chugging his beer. Then, he kissed his Bruins tattoo, which woke the crowd up big time. Ference certainly got the Bruins crowd excited during his playing days because of his tenacious style of play. Seeing him back at TD Garden trying to pump the fans and Bruins up was nice. Unfortunately, this was one of the only positive moments in the matchup, as the Bruins put up a real stinker in this one. Ference spent seven seasons with the Bruins, posting 16 goals, 94 points, and a plus-24 rating. He also, of course, helped the Bruins bring the Stanley Cup back to Boston in 2011.
