In the dying minutes of Game 7 on Sunday night between Boston and Florida, the score clock shown on TNT for viewers in the United States showed briefly that the Panthers tied the game up at 3-3, with a graphic showing "GOAL" and the team logo, just moments before they actually did, thanks to defenceman Brandon Montour.

As mentioned, it was more than likely just a glitch and a technical error from TNT, that didn't stop Bruins fans from sharing their thoughts on Twitter.

Montour's third period goal would force overtime, where Carter Verhaeghe scored the winning tally, giving the Florida Panthers the series win and likely the biggest upset in the 106 year history of the National Hockey League.
Florida will now face the Toronto Maple Leafs, who finally slayed their demons and advanced to the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time since 2004. That series is set to begin on Tuesday night at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto at 7 p.m. ET.
