The Bruins infamously blew a 3-1 series lead to the Florida Panthers in the first round, including losing Games 5 and 7 at home in overtime.

"Yeah, we f--ked that up," Hall said.
Foligno also added:
"Yeah, I'm so pissed. We talked about it because the other night, when we played, we all got in the hallway after because there were so many guys on our team that had played on Boston. So it was like a huge reunion, and we all walked away like, "God, we had something f--king special there. It's just disappointing that you don't get it done."
"We f--ked that up" 😳
Taylor Hall and Nick Foligno were brutally honest about the Bruins being bounced in 7 in round 1 after winning the President’s Trophy

It is hard to disagree with Hall and Foligno, as that Bruins team undoubtedly had the potential to win the Stanley Cup. Their roster was so deep, and they also went big at the deadline, adding Dmitry Orlov, Tyler Bertuzzi, and Garnet Hathaway. However, even with all the talent the Bruins had then, they couldn't get it done.
