Referees lose control of Panthers versus Bruins game, decide to end it early and send teams to locker room

The 3rd period of the game saw multiple ejections between the two teams. With things getting out of hand 7 players would be ejected in the final 2 minutes.

It's not uncommon for things to get heated during a playoff game, but what's uncommon is what happened with 3 seconds left on the clock. Instead of playing out the final seconds the referee simply shut down the game and called it a night. Something you don't see often.
