Intrigue Alert: How Panthers’ 2025 Playoff Push Could Intensify Bruins-Florida Rivalry
Can you imagine rooting for the arch-enemy to at least get to the Eastern Conference Final? It sounds like a plot straight out of a Hollywood blockbuster, but that’s the landscape, and it’s the game we’re playing
If you’re a Boston Bruins fan, rooting for the Florida Panthers doesn’t sound like a good or fun idea. And it makes perfect sense — the Panthers eliminated the Bruins from the Stanley Cup Playoffs in each of the last two seasons.
But this spring is a little different.
When the Bruins dealt captain Brad Marchand to the Panthers on trade deadline day in March, they got back a conditional second-round draft pick in 2027. This second-rounder will become a 2027 or 2028 first-round selection if the Panthers win two or more rounds in this year’s playoffs and Marchand plays in at least 50 percent of Florida’s postseason games.
