Controversies aside, the Panthers have simply outclassed the Bruins in this series

The crowd on Causeway Street said it all Sunday night.

For most of the third period in Game 4 of the Bruins-Panthers playoff series, nearly 20,000 fans directed verbal barbs toward the officiating crew on the ice — especially after series antagonist Sam Bennett scored a controversial net-front goal.

Bennett’s equalizing goal was upheld upon review, despite the fact that he shoved Charlie Coyle into Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman.

But as Bruins fans saw a 2-0 lead in the game evaporate — and a 3-1 series edge for Florida take shape — the crowd’s chant changed as the final seconds ticked off.
