Paul Maurice’s reaction to Game 4 Bruins-Panthers controversy: The clear flash point in Sunday’s Game 4 of the Bruins-Panthers playoff series was the controversial goal from Florida’s Sam Bennett after he pushed Charlie Coyle before scoring the tying goal in the third period.
The Panthers eventually completed the two-goal rally to win 3-2, putting Boston on the brink of playoff elimination (Florida now leads the series 3-1). After the game, the main talking point was Bennet’s tying goal — which the Bruins challenged, but the call was upheld by officials.
While Bruins players questioned both the initial call and the reviewed decision, Panthers head coach Paul Maurice disagreed.
