Controversial Goalie-Interference Call Covers Up Reality of Bruins Being Overmatched

The only thing missing from this Bruins vs. Panthers Round 2 series heading into Game 4 Sunday was a game-altering goalie interference call. Or in Sunday night's case, a non-call.

Leave it to Florida forward Sam Bennett, who took Bruins captain Brad Marchand out of the lineup with a controversial hit in Game 3, to capitalize on an equally controversial third-period equalizer to provide the drama.

Bennett's team went on to win Game 4 3-2 and own a 3-1 series lead heading back to Florida. As the TD Garden crowd chanting "shoot the puck" would tell you, the Bruins' demise was more about their own game and their 41-18 shot deficit.
