MIAMI -- Boston Bruins finished the regular season with an NHL record 65 wins and 135 points.

Panthers got into the playoffs with just a few days left in the regular season and had 92 points. On paper, it was a major mismatch, the largest point disparity in an NHL playoff series in 27 years. What happened next was as stunning as anything you'll ever see in sports.

Simply put, Matthew Tkachuk changed the dynamic of the Panthers. His brush style, honest off-ice personality, and the production to match, has taken this team to a new level.
