Bruins fans already know Brad Marchand is the king of on-ice trolling, but this time? He didn't even need to be in the game to steal the spotlight. During Game 3 of the Panthers vs. Hurricanes series, cameras caught Marchand casually enjoying a Dairy Queen Cookie Dough Blizzard during intermission and the internet immediately lost it.
What started as a snack turned into a viral NHL meme, with fans joking that 'Blizzards > Hurricanes.' Here's how one dessert became the ultimate playoff moment.

This wasn't your typical intermission snack. Cameras zeroed in on Brad Marchand as he dug into a big ol' Dairy Queen Blizzard between periods. The clip, shared by B/R Open Ice on X (formerly Twitter), came with the perfect caption:
'Dude really said Blizzards > Hurricanes.'
Not only was it a funny food choice, but it also perfectly trolled the Carolina Hurricanes, the team facing off against the Florida Panthers in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Fan reactions exploded online, turning the Blizzard moment into a viral NHL sensation
Once the clip hit social media, fans couldn't stop talking about it. Bruins fans celebrated Marchand's ultimate troll energy, while others across the league turned it into a meme. Some joked this was Marchand's true 'secret weapon. Even non-hockey viewers were loving the ice cream flex in the middle of such a high-stakes series.

It's safe to say Marchand's snack break became the most meme-worthy moment of the playoffs.
If you know Brad Marchand, you know he's been called one of the biggest on-ice agitators in NHL history. From licking opponents (yes, that happened) to taunting rivals, Marchand's reputation is built on playful, sometimes outrageous antics. This Blizzard moment? It was classic Marchand even when he's not on the ice, he's managing to grab the spotlight and get fans talking.
It added some much-needed humor to an otherwise intense playoff atmosphere.
In a series packed with hits, goals, and dramatic moments, Brad Marchand reminded everyone that sometimes, the best plays happen off the ice. Whether it was a planned troll or just a craving for cookie dough, his intermission Blizzard became the viral highlight of the night.

Mahesh Babu's Khaleja beats Chiranjeevi's Indra to become highest-grossing Indian re-release in USA
Mahesh Babu's Khaleja has achieved a remarkable feat, becoming the highest-grossing Indian re-release in North America. The 4K remastered version surpassed records previously held by Chiranjeevi's Indra and Pawan Kalyan's Gabbar Singh. The film's success is attributed to Mahesh Babu's enduring popularity, witty dialogues, and Trivikram Srinivas' sharp writing, drawing audiences back to cinemas after 14 years. In what can only be described as a phenomenal feat, Superstar Mahesh Babu 's Khaleja has stormed the North American box office to become the highest-grossing Indian re-release ever in the United States. The cult classic, originally released in 2010, has struck gold with its 4K remastered version, beating long-standing records held by Chiranjeevi's Indra and Pawan Kalyan 's Gabbar Singh . Khaleja directed by Trivikram Srinivas also starred Anushka Shetty and Prakash Raj in leading roles. On its opening day, Khaleja 4K grossed an impressive $57,677 from 105 locations across North America, making it the third-highest opening for an Indian film re-release in the region, just behind Indra ($65K) and Gabbar Singh ($60K). However, what followed on Day 2 was nothing short of sensational. By 9 PM PST, the film had already collected $35,829 from 91 locations, a figure that surpassed many other re-release opening day numbers. The remarkable Day 2 performance has ensured that Khaleja would comfortably cross the coveted $100K mark by Sunday. . This unexpected yet heartwarming box office resurgence reaffirms Mahesh Babu's enduring popularity overseas, especially among the Telugu diaspora. The film's witty dialogues, Mahesh's charismatic performance, Trivikram Srinivas' sharp writing, and the nostalgia factor have all contributed to drawing crowds back to cinemas, even 14 years after its original release. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like เทรดทองCFDs กับโบรกเกอร์ที่เชื่อถือได้ | เรียนรู้เพิ่มเติม IC Markets สมัคร Undo In India as well the film has taken an amazing start where just its advance booking for day 1 of Rs 3.5 crore has made it the highest grossing Telugu re-release beating Prabhas' Salaar Part 1- Ceasefire.

Vishnu Manchu accuses brother Manoj of stealing hard disk with 'Kannappa' footage; asks fans not to watch leaked footage
Picture Credit: X Telugu actor Vishnu Manchu has accused his brother Manoj Manchu of being involved in the theft of a crucial hard disk containing footage from their upcoming mythological film 'Kannappa'. As per an India Today report, during a media interaction in Chennai, where Vishnu, who was promoting the film along with the cast, he claimed that a hard disk containing vital VFX work and pivotal scenes from 'Kannappa' was stolen. According to the report, the disk was sent from Hive Studios in Mumbai to their father Mohan Babu 's residence in Film Nagar, Hyderabad, which is the usual delivery point for packages meant for the Manchu siblings. The disk was handed over to two individuals named Raghu and Charitha, who have since gone missing. Vishnu alleged that the two are reportedly connected to Manoj Manchu, with Raghu acting as his personal assistant and Charitha linked to his office. The theft reportedly took place about four weeks ago, but the production team only filed a police complaint after multiple unsuccessful attempts to contact Manoj and his associates. Vishnu expressed concern over the potential leak of the footage but reassured that the hard disk is password-protected, making unauthorised access highly unlikely. He urged the public not to watch any leaked content, as immense effort had gone into making the film. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cubao : SUV Clearance Sale, Click Here To See Prices SUV Deals | Search Ads Search Now Undo "You all know what happened within our family. We tried to reach Manoj through our friends, but to no avail. We don't know if they stole it or acted upon someone's orders. It was after these attempts we filed a police complaint," he said. He addressed the controversy while requesting the media to refrain from probing into family matters during the promotional event. 'Kannappa' is a much-anticipated pan-Indian mythological drama directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh. The film tells the story of Bhakta Kannappa, a devoted follower of Lord Shiva, with Vishnu Manchu playing the titular role. The star-studded cast includes Mohan Babu, Sarathkumar, Madhoo, and cameo appearances by Prabhas, Akshay Kumar, Mohanlal, and Kajal Aggarwal. The film will hit the big screens on June 27.

Manchu Manoj reveals he missed out on 'Arjun Reddy'; hopes to work with Sandeep Reddy Vanga in future projects
Picture Credit: X Actor Manchu Manoj , who is making his comeback with the recently released film 'Bhairavam', opened up about some missed opportunities in his career. He revealed that he had the chance to star in the now-iconic Sandeep Reddy Vanga directorial ' Arjun Reddy '. As per a Gulte report, during one of the promotional events of the film, Manoj revealed that back in 2013, Vanga had narrated the script of 'Arjun Reddy' to him. However, due to personal reasons at the time, he was unable to take up the project. Manoj expressed his regret for missing out on working with such a talented filmmaker and conveyed his hope to collaborate with Vanga in the future. The romantic action drama 'Arjun Reddy', which became a cult classic, was directed by debutant Vanga and catapulted Vijay Deverakonda to superstardom. The film was eventually released in 2017 and, despite initial criticism for its bold themes, such as its portrayal of toxic masculinity and violence, it went on to become one of Telugu cinema's most talked-about and influential films. The movie starred Vijay Deverakonda and Shalini Pandey in lead roles, supported by a strong ensemble cast including Priyadarshi Pulikonda and Rahul Ramakrishna. The film's success was so significant that the director remade it in Hindi as ' Kabir Singh ' in 2019, starring Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esse novo alarme com câmera é quase gratuito em Nova Iguaçu (consulte o preço) Alarmes Saiba Mais Undo This version also became a major commercial hit.
