Panthers’ Brad Marchand fuels intermission dessert rumors
Florida Panthers winger Brad Marchand caused quite a commotion during the team’s Eastern Conference Finals game against the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday night. Marchand was caught on camera in the locker room during the intermission after the second period of Game 3, indulging in some kind of treat from a spoon. This sparked a frenzy of speculation about what he was eating and led to an ice cream mystery surrounding the defending Stanley Cup champions ahead of what could potentially be the series-deciding game on Monday.
When Marchand was asked about his snack choice after the Panthers’ 6-2 victory, he confirmed that he was indeed enjoying a Blizzard from Dairy Queen. This revelation came after the Panthers made headlines for visiting a Dairy Queen in North Carolina while they were in Raleigh for Games 1 and 2.
Sportsnet reporter Kyle Bukauskas questioned Marchand about his treat, to which he replied, “Yeah, that’s a little chocolate chip cookie dough Blizzard right there.” However, Florida head coach Paul Maurice seemed skeptical of Marchand’s claim, jokingly mentioning that there are cameras everywhere and they can’t get away with anything anymore. Despite the playful banter, Marchand expressed his love for Dairy Queen desserts, calling them the best in the world and jokingly requesting a lifetime supply of treats from the eatery.
Whether it was a Dairy Queen Blizzard or not, the Panthers have been dominating the Stanley Cup Playoffs, outscoring Carolina 16-4 in the series and reminding the NHL why they are the defending champions. Their strong performance on the ice has solidified their status as a formidable contender in the postseason.
As the series progresses, all eyes will be on the Panthers as they look to secure their spot in the Stanley Cup Finals once again. With Brad Marchand leading the charge on and off the ice, Florida fans can expect more exciting moments and delicious desserts along the way. Stay tuned for more updates on this thrilling playoff matchup.
