“I’m just going to enjoy every second of it,” said a beaming Bard Marchand as he noted how he wasn’t going to let pervasive thoughts dampen his mood for the Stanley Cup Finals. Underscoring how this could be, “statistically“, his last Cup appearance, the Canadian winger made it clear that the ride itself is something to be enjoyed. But even if it is his last time upon hockey’s grandest stage, things could very well be memorable for Marchand.
The Florida Panthers and the Edmonton Oilers will clash in the Stanley Cup Finals for the second straight time. Emotions are running high. Even more so for Brad Marchand, who transferred to Miami in March, after contract extension talks with the Boston Bruins failed. However, it seems like his debut run with the Cats could also turn out to be something special in the Finals; if the stars align.
A post by B/R Open Ice from June 2 reveals how things could be extra special for Marchand and the Oilers’ Evander Kane during this year’s ultimate NHL action. “Brad Marchand and Evander Kane’s dads were Junior A teammates on the Dartmouth Arrows, in 1981,” the post shares startling details, accompanied by an emoji that truly captures our “mind=blown” feelings.
With that, the social media update also started what could potentially become a rallying cause ahead of the Stanley Cup rematch. “Need the Cup Final team reunion,” B/R Open Ice speaks for all the hockey fans out there.
