Dave Hyde: Forsling’s Goal Finishes Boston, Sends Panthers Back To Final Four

Next. Somehow, someway, Gustav Forsling’s shot with 93 seconds left in Game 6 went through Boston defenseman Parker Wotherspoon’s legs, slipped by the brick wall of goalie Jeremy Swayman and sent the Florida Panthers on their merry way. Next. The Panthers went into the heart of Boston hockey for the second straight season and came out with Boston’s heart, soul and season with a 2-1 win Friday night to win a series full of bile and wonderful hockey, four games to two. Next. After they lined up to shake hands, after they took extra time respecting Swayman, Boston already was beginning to move into the background for the Panthers as they advance to their second straight Eastern Conference Finals starting Wednesday at the New York Rangers. After the flamboyance flamed out in the series, after the honor code of fisticuffs played out and pistols at 10 paces wasn’t on the table, the Florida Panthers took down Boston just in the manner they should have. Forecheck pressure.
