NHL fans believed the Boston Bruins got struck by the Presidents’ Trophy curse after Game 7 loss

Boston (Organization) Bruins The Boston Bruins NHL Game 7 Panthers

The Boston Bruins are officially eliminated from the 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs.

Falling victim to the dreaded Presidents’ Trophy curse, Boston lost to the Florida Panthers in Game 7 on Sunday night, 4-3.

The loss came after a last-minute goal from Florida in the third period that sent the game into overtime, where Panthers center Carter Verhaeghe scored the game winner to send the Bruins packing. 

Boston was the clear favorite to contend for the Stanley Cup this year after its dominant regular season, but taking home the Presidents’ Trophy has tripped up plenty of hockey teams in the past.

It’s been since 2013 when the Chicago Blackhawks took home the Presidents’ Trophy and the Stanley Cup that a team has been able to win both.

Hockey fans couldn't help but bring up the curse.
