Despite the Bruins' initial lead of 3-1 in the series, the Panthers managed to turn the tables and come out on top. In his post-game comments, Tkachuk didn't hesitate to throw some shade at the Bruins, stating that nobody had favored them in the series and that the Panthers' victory was not the greatest upset in NHL history, at least not in the eyes of the Panthers team.
Tkachuk's words may seem audacious, but the Panthers' victory over a team that was considered the greatest in NHL regular season history is an impressive feat. Especially considering that the Panthers had only secured their playoff spot in the 81st game of the season. It's a shocking turn of events that's hard to believe even now.
