Bruins get booed off the ice by home crowd after 40 minutes

The Boston Bruins are struggling in Game 3 of their second round series against the Florida Panthers.

After 40 minutes, not only re the Cats leading 3-0, but the Bruins have only managed to shoot three times in the first frame, and five more times in the second period at goalie Sergei Bobrovsky.

The crowd have not been impressed by their effort and when the buzzer went off after the second period, the fans booed the Bruins off the ice.

To make things worse for Boston, at the start of the third period, captain Brad Marchand was missing from the team's bench. The club then announced that he was unlikely to return to Game 3 due to an upper-body injury. 

Earlier in the game, Marchand collided with Panthers' Sam Bennett and got the worse of the hit.

This could be what has led to him staying in the dressing room at the start of the last frame.
