Gary Bettman, the NHL's controversial commissioner, joined the NHL on TNT broadcast to discuss the ongoing Stanley Cup Finals, but managed to sneak a little shot at the Bruins' shortcomings in the process.
Wow! Gary certainly didn't hold back there.
While Boston did lose in an underwhelming fashion, it shouldn't be understated just how well this Florida Panthers team has performed in the playoffs this year. They beat one of the best Leafs teams ever assembled on paper in five games and swept the powerhouse Carolina Hurricanes in the Eastern Conference Final.
Florida has played like one of the best hockey teams on the planet throughout the post-season this year, and they 100% deserve to be where they are currently.
So while yes, Boston did lose, Florida's contribution shouldn't be understated.
