These Images Of Brad Marchand Lifting Stanley Cup Might Hit Bruins Fans Hard
While the majority of Boston Bruins fans are happy for Brad Marchand, the images showing a jubilant Marchand hoisting Lord Stanley in a Florida Panthers sweater still feel weird.
Marchand, who spent 16 seasons in Black and Gold before being traded in March, now is a two-time Stanley Cup champion. Marchand and the Panthers bested the Edmonton Oilers in the Stanley Cup Finals, claiming the best-of-seven series 4-2 on Tuesday night.
Here are some of the images of Marchand celebrating, which might hit Bruins fans hard:
Speaking on the ice amid the celebration, an emotional Marchand had a hard time putting the experience into words.
“It’s a feeling you can’t really describe,” Marchand told TNT. “Seeing the family and everyone up there, everyone that’s supported me and helped me get to this point, there’s nothing — words can’t put this into reality. How great it feels.”
The Bruins received a first-round pick in their trade for Marchand, but the Panthers figure to be thrilled with their end of the deal, too.
