Tempers boil over after New York Rangers open the scoring
In the second game of the Eastern Conference Finals between the New York Rangers and the Florida Panthers, following the first goal, everything went crazy.
In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Florida Panthers are leading the series 1-0; Game 2 is scheduled for tonight. The Rangers got off to an early start, opening the score less than five minutes into the game after being shut out in the first game. Tensions flared when Vincent Trocheck scored against Sergei Bobrovsky.
The Florida Panthers attempted to physically enforce their will in a classic Panthers manner. The Rangers were opponents throughout the game, and they showed no mercy. The officials penalized Matthew Tkachuk and Carter Verhaeghe with minor penalties during the play as a result of the Panthers' physical play. The Rangers' Alexis Lafreniere was also given a roughing penalty, which put New York on the power play.
New York continues to lead Midway through the first period as I looked not the series up at 1.
