Bruins trade longtime star Brad Marchand to Panthers after 16 seasons with Boston
A generation of Boston Bruins fans that has always seen Brad Marchand wearing its team's sweater now must become accustomed to seeing the veteran left wing wearing a Florida Panthers jersey.
Marchand, 36, was dealt to Florida before the NHL trade deadline on Friday at 3 p.m. ET. The deal caps weeks of speculation that the Bruins would part with their longtime star and team captain in the final year of his contract as the team fell out of the playoff race.
What the Bruins will receive in return hasn't yet been announced, as the trade is still pending with the league. Marchand is currently sidelined with an upper-body injury that has sidelined him since March 1.
Bruins fans might wince even further at Marchand being traded to the Panthers, who have eliminated Boston from the past two Stanley Cup playoffs, last year in the second round.
Marchand played 16 seasons with the Bruins, winning a Stanley Cup in his second season with the franchise in 2011-12. He's been the team captain for the past three seasons, taking over the mantle in 2023 following Patrice Bergeron's retirement.
During his career, Marchand scored 422 goals with 554 assists in 1,090 games. He has scored 20 or more goals for 12 consecutive seasons.
Holy moly, what a goal by Brad Marchand 😍 pic.twitter.com/wMtO4j0q8I

Among his career honors are two NHL All-Star Games and twice being named to both the first-team and second-team All-NHL teams.
In international play, Marchand most recently played for Team Canada's championship team in the 4 Nations Face-Off Tournament. He was on Canada's gold medal-winning clubs in the 2016 World Cup and IIHF World Championship.
The Bruins finished second in the Atlantic Division last year, finishing just one point behind the Panthers with 109. However, Boston has slid significantly this season, holding seventh place in the division with just 64 points thus far. The team is still in contention for one of the Eastern Conference's two wild-card berths, trailing the Ottawa Senators by three points.
Dealing Marchand was one of several teams the Bruins made before the NHL trade deadline. The team also traded defenseman Brandon Carlo to the Toronto Maple Leafs and center Charlie Coyle to the Colorado Avalanche on Friday.

T.J. Oshie announces he's retiring
WASHINGTON — T.J. Oshie, who scored four shootout goals for the U.S. to beat host Russia at the 2014 Sochi Olympics and helped the Washington Capitals win the Stanley Cup in 2018, announced he is retiring after playing 16 NHL seasons. Oshie shared his news in front of hundreds of fans gathered at the fountains at Washington Harbour in Georgetown, seven years to the day of one of the most memorable Cup celebrations in hockey history when he and several teammates jumped into the fountains and took a dip. President of hockey operations Brian MacLellan, general manager Chris Patrick, coach Spencer Carbery and longtime teammates Nicklas Backstrom and John Carlson came out to support Oshie as he called it a career. 'My only contribution was that this could be a good day and place to have (the ceremony),' Oshie said, adding, 'I can't thank the Caps enough. Another first-class move by them to have my retirement here, invite all the people out. It really made this day special.' The announcement had been expected for quite some time, with Oshie's contract expiring. The 38-year-old did not play this past season because of a nagging back injury that sidelined him off and on, going on long-term injured reserve instead. Oshie said in the spring of 2024 he would only return to the Capitals if he found a permanent solution or fix to the issue. His final game was at home on April 28 last year against the New York Rangers, a 4-2 loss in the first round that eliminated Washington in a sweep. 'I was fully prepared that could be my last game: I got the pictures taken of me taking off the skates to prove it,' Oshie said. 'I hadn't thought too much about (the end), honestly, besides that moment. Even before that moment, knowing how tough it was on really the whole team with me, what I was going through, actually saying the words out loud at the podium with my family in front of me and the Caps organization, my teammates, all my close friends, it was emotional.' Taken 24th in the 2005 draft by St. Louis, Oshie played 1,116 regular-season and playoff games in the league with the Blues and Capitals since making his debut in 2008. He had 336 goals and 428 assists for 764 points, including 21 points during Washington's Cup run. Oshie made an international name for himself at the Olympics, earning the nickname 'T.J. Sochi' for going 4 for 6 in shootout attempts against Sergei Bobrovsky during the U.S.-Russia preliminary round game in that tournament. U.S. Olympic coach Dan Bylsma figured one game would go to a shootout, hence the choice of bringing Oshie. Bylsma kept going back to him over and over. 'T.J. had been on fire that season in the shootout, and with the scouting report on Bobrovsky we felt T.J. would have a great chance against him,' Bylsma told The Associated Press by text message. 'Even when he didn't score, he had beaten Bob with his move, so we kept rolling with him.' In the NHL, his biggest impact came after he was traded from the Blues to the Capitals in 2015. Oshie took on an immediate leadership role as a key addition to the core of Alex Ovechkin, Backstrom and Carlson, helping the team make the playoffs in eight of his nine seasons in the nation's capital. 'I'll be the first to give credit to my teammates, because without them, I was nowhere near good enough to do it without a group like that,' Oshie said. Oshie's 76 power-play goals in D.C. are the fifth most in franchise history. He scored 49 times in the shootout, tied for third all time since it was implemented in 2005. 'I like to think that when I was playing, that I was playing for my teammates, for my coaches, for my family, for my fans. I rarely thought about my own accolades,' Oshie said. 'To be remembered (as a 'warrior' type of player) is a huge honor because that was my goal and the way I played the game.'

Hermoso left out of Spain's squad for Women's European Championship
Mexico's Tigres Jennifer Hermoso, center, and Margaret Williams-Purce, left, and Miranda Freeman from NJ/NY Gotham FC from U.S., fight for the ball during a CONCACAF Women Champions Cup final soccer match in Monterrey, Mexico, Saturday, May 24, 2025. (AP Photo/Jorge Mendoza) MADRID (AP) — Spain's squad for the Women's European Championship does not include Jenni Hermoso, the player who was kissed without her consent by the former president of the Spanish soccer federation in the awards ceremony of the 2023 World Cup. The kiss led to a guilty verdict for sexual assault for Luis Rubiales earlier this year. Advertisement Spain stars Alexia Putellas and Aitana Bonmati were among the 25 players called up by coach Montse Tomé on Tuesday ahead of the tournament in Switzerland. The training camp will begin next Thursday in Spain, with players from Barcelona and Atletico Madrid — who participated in the final of the Copa de la Reina on Saturday, due to report Sunday. The team will play a friendly against Japan near Madrid on June 27, and two days later will travel to Switzerland ahead of its Euro debut against Portugal on July 3. The final roster will be 23 players. The other nations in Spain's Euro 2025 group are Italy and Belgium. Advertisement Hermoso, who plays for Mexican club Tigres, has not been called up for national duty since friendlies against Italy and Canada last October. She had played in the Olympic tournament in Paris, when Spain finished fourth. Hermoso, the all-time leading scorer for Spain's national team with 57 goals in 123 matches, was left out of the squad right after the scandal broke, when Tomé said she was protecting the player. Hermoso was back with the squad after that, but the coach had said after the Olympics that a new cycle was beginning in the national team. In addition to winning the World Cup in 2023, Spain also won last year's Nations League title. In February, a Spanish court ruled that Rubiales had sexually abused Hermoso when he kissed her without consent. Spain's National Court ordered Rubiales to pay more than 10,000 euros ($10,400 then) in fines and prohibited him from getting within 200 meters of Hermoso or communicating with her for a year. ___ AP soccer:
