Bruins fans furious by Bennett's controversial goal in pivotal game 4
In a high-stakes Game 4 showdown between the Florida Panthers and the Boston Bruins, Sam Bennett once again found himself at the center of the action, this time over a controversial goal which has sparked anger with fans.
With the Panthers trailing 2-1 in the third period and on the power play, Bennett seized the moment to make his mark on the game.
As the clock ticked down, Bennett executed a perfectly timed crosscheck from behind on Charlie Coyle, causing him to collide with Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman. Seizing the opportunity, Bennett capitalized with a slick goal to tie the game, sending shockwaves through the TD Garden crowd.
However, the Bruins weren't about to let the goal stand without a fight. In a desperate attempt to overturn the call, they challenged for goalie interference. But much to their dismay, the goal was upheld, leaving the home crowd frustrated and irate.
Absolutely atrocious call following a review.
Bennett's goal was just the latest chapter in his contentious relationship with the Bruins. In Game 3, he drew the ire of Boston fans and players alike after delivering a brutal hit that sidelined Bruins captain Brad Marchand. The memory of that hit still fresh, Bennett's goal only added fuel to the fire.
For Bennett and the Panthers, it was a moment of triumph in a fiercely contested series. But for the Bruins and their loyal fans, it was a bitter pill to swallow, as they now face the daunting task of clawing their way back into the series to keep their Stanley Cup dreams alive.
