The Florida Panthers fought back from trailing 2–0 to taking a 3–2 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Wednesday's Game 5 was a major turning point in the series, as Florida stifled Toronto on the road in a 6–1 blowout.
After the game, Brad Marchand, who is certainly not a popular figure among Maple Leafs fans, could be seen heading down the tunnel towards the Panthers' locker room after receiving a misconduct penalty late in the third period, but not before he was greeted by some rather hostile fans at Scotiabank Arena.
