Pavel Zacha threatens Florida's 'top guys' ahead of Game 4.
The Boston Bruins are coming for revenge against the Florida Panthers in Game 4.
The Boston Bruins are out for revenge.
Earlier today Bruins forward Trent Frederic made comments that sounded very much like an ominous warning from the Bruins, and now fellow Bruins forward Pavel Zacha has made comments that are even more blatant in that regard.
While speaking to the media ahead of tonight's Game 4, Zacha was asked about how the Bruins would respond to the injury that has sidelined Bruins captain Brad Marchand, an injury that was caused by a blow to the head from Florida Panthers forward Sam Bennett.
The response from Zacha pulled no punches, with Zacha openly admitting that the team would be targeting the oppositions top players.
"We have to really go after their top guys and just let them know that's not ok," said a very serious Zacha. "That's something to go after our captain, that's not ok with us. We're ready to be physical again today and be a little bit harder on them."
Zacha was also asked if he expected that his teammates would target Bennett in Game 4, and again he did not shy away from the question.
"Yeah I think you know, just going after their top guys," admitted Zacha.
At the end of the day I don't think anyone will be surprised if the Bruins do indeed seek a measure of revenge this evening, although what shape that might take is anyone's guess. Bennett will likely want to be on high alert as the most likely player to be targeted in response to the Marchand injury.
You can hear Zacha discuss this and several other topics in the short clip below, his comments regarding tonight begin around the 2:30 mark of the video.
