There’s a storm brewing in Edmonton. With the Stanley Cup Finals tied 2-2, Game 5 will surely be a massive opportunity for both the Florida Panthers and the Oilers to capitalize on the moment. However, it seems like the Cats have had it with leaving things to fate. Instead, the defending Cup champs are doing everything they can to make sure that things go their way.
“I think Marchy grabbed a Blizzard,” joked Sam Bennett after Brad Marchand helped the Florida Panthers nab a nail-biting 5-4 OT win in Game 2. Could that be the pre-game ritual that Paul Maurice’s boys need to get them back in their winning ways? The 2024 Cup winners certainly seem to think so!
A post by B/R Open Ice on X from June 14 shared a snap from the Cats’ crucial pit stop from before today’s high-stakes match in the Canadian city. Captioned, “Looks like the Panthers went back to Dairy Queen before Game 5 in Edmonton,” the post shows several of the Panthers’ stars getting themselves some dessert, as they pose for the camera with a young fan.
B/R Open Ice’s social media update shared a screenshot of an Instagram post of a Panthers fan-run account. The OG post read, “Random walks in the rain leads into meeting the FloridaPanthers @Dairy Queen in Edmonton AB,” as the snap shows a group of Florida Panthers players evidently living in the moment as they grabbed their favorite pre-game snack as a way to pull a quick one over the Game 5 hosts.
