Brad Marchand really brought his A-game for the Florida Panthers in the 2025 Stanley Cup playoffs. Picked up at the trade deadline from Boston, the 37-year-old quickly made an impact—scoring a thrilling double-overtime winner in Game 2 of the Final and netting a short-handed breakaway goal in that same game to even the series at 1-1.
In 23 playoff games, he scored 10 goals and dished out 10 assists, totaling 20 points. He even had three game-winners and wrapped up with a solid +17 plus-minus rating. Aside from the numbers, Marchand really brought that veteran leadership and energy that everyone noticed—teammates and coach Paul Maurice alike. They all praised his steady presence and the positive vibe he brought both on and off the ice.
But you know, Marchand’s win was a big deal for way more than just the Panthers fans. Kiley McAvoy, Charlie McAvoy’s wife, shared a celebratory video from the Stanley Cup final on her Instagram Story, and her message really said a lot. Under a photo of post-game hugs in the rink, she wrote a simple but impactful caption: “The best of the best! SO proud!!!”
Mrs. McAvoy summed up her admiration for Brad Marchand’s grit and joy over Florida’s championship win, while also feeling proud of her family’s success, all in just a few words. Her enthusiastic support really showed the strong connections in the hockey community—spousal pride, respect among teammates, and recognition of the tough journey that led to back-to-back Cup wins.
