The Boston Bruins had a brutal start to their season opener against the Florida Panthers. They finished the second period trailing 5-2 and were clearly outplayed.

Nothing seems to be going right for the Bruins, and their frustration has naturally increased as a result. Unfortunately, this led to new Bruins forward Max Jones taking an ugly penalty against the Cats.

During a scrum with Panthers forward Evan Rodrigues, Jones attempted to cut the Panthers forward's stick. Unfortunately, Jones completely missed the ball and instead accidentally hit the referee. Following the accident, Jones was given a two-minute unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

That's certainly something that both Jones and Bruins fans will remember for a long time from the bold forward's debut.
