Andrew Ference fires up TD Garden crowd by chugging a beer

The Boston Bruins are known for welcoming back former players to TD Garden to help rev up the crowd, and tonight was no exception.

Former Bruins defenseman Andrew Ference, who was a member of the 2011 Stanley Cup winning team, is on hand tonight for Game 3 of Boston’s Round 1 matchup against the Florida Panthers, and he thrilled the sellout crowd by chugging a beer on the video screen above center ice:

Right now, Ference’s presence hasn’t helped the cause though, as the Panthers currently enjoy a 3-0 lead over the Bruins in the second period.
