Matthew Tkachuk Hilariously Reacts To Brad Marchand's Big Goal
The Florida Panthers defeated the Edmonton Oilers by a 5-2 final score in Game 5. This was a massive win for the Panthers, as they now have a 3-2 series lead and are just one win away from lifting the Stanley Cup for the second year in a row.
Panthers star Brad Marchand was certainly a huge reason why Florida won Game 5. He put together an excellent performance, scoring two beautiful goals during the contest.

Marchand's second goal, however, was incredible. After receiving a pass from Eetu Luostarinen, Marchand made an amazing move by Oilers defenseman Jake Walman before beating Calvin Pickard five-hole.
In response to Marchand's awesome second goal, Panthers teammate Matthew Tkachuk was shocked and hilariously shouted "oh my god" six times.
Tkachuk's reaction to Marchand's goal is understandable, as it was a great one from No. 63. It was also an incredibly important one, as it gave the Panthers a 3-0 lead in third period and ended up being the game-winner.
Marchand, Tkachuk, and the Panthers will now look to stay hot and defeat the Oilers in Game 6 from here.

NHL reporter may have gotten ‘bad info' on Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift at Game 6 of Stanley Cup Final
There might be a 'Blank Space' in the stands at Amerant Bank Arena for Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final. It turns out Taylor Swift and her boyfriend Travis Kelce may not be in attendance at Monday night's game between the Panthers and Oilers after all, even though TNT's Jackie Redmond reported on 'The Pat McAfee Show' that the couple was planning to make an appearance. 'My 'good source' has been downgraded to just a 'source,'' Redmond joked on X Monday afternoon. 'Might have gotten bad info on this.' In an appearance on McAfee's show Monday, Redmond said, 'I have a good source claiming that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will be in the house for Game 6. … Not confirmed but according to a good source.' Swift and Kelce were in the building for Game 4 in Florida last Thursday — and they were treated to a thrilling game that saw the Oilers erase a three-goal deficit, give up a tying goal with 19.5 seconds to go in regulation and then win it, 5-4, in overtime. Singer Taylor Swift and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce at Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final at Amerant Bank Arena. AP Kelce is a known hockey fan who grew up playing the sport in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, before shifting his focus to football. And Swift has made plenty of appearances at Kelce's games with the Chiefs since the couple began dating — although the Game 4 cameo marked one of the few sporting events the two publicly attended together. Kelce and Swift began dating in the summer of 2023, after the Chiefs tight end tried to give the pop singer a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it at an Eras Tour concert in Kansas City. The Florida Panthers celebrate a goal in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect It remains to be seen whether the power couple will make it to Sunrise, Fla., for the game, but if they don't, they'll be missing a potential clinching game for the Panthers — who have a 3-2 series lead and are on the verge of their second consecutive Stanley Cup.

'Fix this': Calls for immediate change as Panthers caught in 'unfair' farce
NRL fans are once again demanding the competition be suspended during the State of Origin series, with the Penrith Panthers unable to have their five NSW players back up in Round 16 to take on the Warriors. The ARL Commission has flagged a standalone State of Origin series when the next broadcast deal comes into effect in 2028, but it can't come soon enough. As it stands, the NRL competition continues during State of Origin, and has a detrimental effect on the clubs with the most players in the showpiece event. As well as not being allowed to play NSW or Queensland players the weekend before an Origin game, clubs are often forced to make difficult decisions for the games that follow. This weekend, Panthers coach Ivan Cleary won't have son Nathan, Isaah Yeo, Liam Martin, Dylan Edwards or Brian To'o at his disposal when Penrith travel to Auckland to take on the Warriors. Because State of Origin 2 is in Perth on Wednesday night, the Panthers haven't found a viable way to fly their Origin stars to Auckland for Saturday's game (taking into account rest and recovery). Adding to the frustrating situation is the fact Lindsay Smith is now the 19th man for NSW, meaning he'll have to remain in Perth until after Wednesday night's game. Smith is expected to fly to New Zealand and play on Saturday, but the Panthers aren't willing to risk injury to the other five with so much travel and a short turnaround. Speaking last weekend, Ivan Cleary labelled the situation "unfair". He said: "The Origin players won't be playing because they can't. I don't think it's fair that we can't play... we should be able to make that decision. Through flights, we just can't get them there." Cleary will roll with a largely second-string side to take on the Warriors, and the Panthers are astronomical odds to beat the home side. It's a hammer blow considering the four-time defending champs have battled back from last on the ladder to be ninth heading into Round 16. As many fans have pointed out, the current system completely compromises the NRL competition. The ideal scenario would be to put the NRL on hold for three weeks and play all three Origin games on back-to-back-to-back weekends. The NRL has seemingly realised this is the way forward, but it looks like any change to the current Origin system won't come into effect for at least three years. One person wrote on social media on Monday: "Standalone Origin would fix this. Unfortunately some people can't live without club footy for a couple of weeks so we are stuck with the current system." Another commented: "The game should be rescheduled if there's a literal inability to get the players there - that's crazy." While a third added: "The NRL is trying to expand out of NSW and QLD but persists with allowing Origin to disrupt it?! Makes no sense." RELATED: Canberra Raiders 'fuming' after key figure signs with Roosters NRL world sends flood of messages over news about Yvonne Sampson Others pointed out that Origin-affected games are a good opportunity for younger players or fringe-first graders to gain valuable NRL experience. While some suggested Cleary and the Panthers shouldn't be whinging considering they've won four-straight premierships. Tellingly, a poll of over 20,000 Yahoo Sport Australia readers has a standalone Origin series as the preferred option. Over 60 per cent of voters believe the current system compromises the NRL competition.

Peter Hanlon named Calgary Flames new assistant GM
A familiar face around the Saddledome has been named as the Calgary Flames new assistant general manager. Peter Hanlon, who has worked for the Flames since the beginning of the 1997-98 season and is the longtime vice president of communications at the club, will be making the move to the hockey operations department starting on July 1. He'll join a management team that's led by president of hockey operations Don Maloney, general manager Craig Conroy, assistant general managers Brad Pascall and Dave Nonis, and special advisor to the GM Jarome Iginla. 'Peter will be involved in all areas of hockey operations including player evaluation, player recruitment and strategic planning,' Conroy said in a press release. 'Together with Assistant General Managers Dave Nonis and Brad Pascall, Peter will help us pursue our goal of bringing the Stanley Cup back to Calgary.' Hanlon has worked in the hockey world for over 30 years, beginning his career with the Toronto Maple Leafs' AHL affiliate, who were playing in St. John's, Nfld, at the time. He was then recruited to work at the AHL head office before joining the Flames. He has considerable experience at the international level, too, having been a part of Team Canada at the 2002 Olympics, multiple world championships and the 2016 World Cup of Hockey. That's experience the Flames clearly put a lot of stock in. 'Peter has worked in professional hockey for over 30 years,' Maloney said. 'His knowledge and experience are a welcomed addition to our staff.' daustin@
