The Bruins, who broke the NHL’s record for most wins and points in a single regular season this year, were upset by the Panthers in the first round of the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs on Sunday.
It was a disappointing end to a season brimming with promise, and the loss prompted an eyebrow-raising call from play-by-play commentator Jack Edwards, who compared Boston’s playoffs defeat to the Hindenburg disaster.
“[Carter] Verhaeghe wins the series for Florida, and this joyride ends in an Hindenburg-like ending,” said Edwards. “The Bruins are the second record-setting team in a row to drop the series in the first round.”
