Matthew Tkachuk-David Pastrnak brawl in Game 2 has fans going bonkers

Matthew Tkachuk is certainly no stranger to mixing it up. However, David Pastrnak is a bit of a different story. The Bruins star is one of his team’s primary offensive producers. But he rarely sees time in the box. In fact, he had less than 50 penalty minutes during the 2023-24 regular season, and those 47 penalty minutes represent his career high for a single season.

Fans react to intense Panthers-Bruins game

Matthew Tkachuk and David Pastrnak certainly weren’t the only ones to mix it up in Game 2. Both Florida and Boston took it to the other during the final frame. And fans could not contain themselves on social media as the action on the ice unfolded in real-time. Some had fun with the festivities taking place.

Other fans took the opportunity to talk a bit of smack. For instance, one fan focused in on the doubts around the Panthers after their loss in the first game. “You hear that? That’s the sound of everybody who talked smack about these Florida Panthers after game one shutting the f**k up,” they wrote on social media.

One reporter posted a complete breakdown of the penalties taken in the third period. The Bruins took 10 total penalties against the Panthers. Meanwhile, Florida took seven penalties in the final frame of Game 2. The reporter stated the obvious in their post.

Finally, one Bruins fan took aim at Matthew Tkachuk for choosing David Pastrnak as his opponent in the third period.  “BTW thats when Tkachuk will mix it up. When hes guaranteed the advantage. He runs from everyone else,” they wrote in their social media post on Wednesday night.
