The veteran forward brought a wave of cheers to the Elbo Room in Fort Lauderdale, turning a championship night into a community moment fans won't soon forget. Brad Marchand delivers Pizza during Panthers' Cup celebration at Elbo room Just hours after the Florida Panthers secured their 2025 Stanley Cup win, veteran forward Brad Marchand made his way to the Elbo Room—a well-known beachfront bar in Fort Lauderdale—carrying boxes of pizza for fans still celebrating the historic moment. Marchand was seen in casual gear—a t-shirt and baseball cap—as he delivered the pizza to a crowd of cheering fans. The scene, captured by a supporter and shared on social media, showed Marchand smiling and interacting with the crowd, adding to the excitement of an already unforgettable night. This postgame pizza delivery wasn't entirely unexpected. The Panthers have made it a tradition to celebrate their championship wins at the Elbo Room, following their home-ice victories. The bar has become a go-to spot for both fans and players after the final buzzer, turning into an extension of the team's locker room energy. The 2025 Stanley Cup Final concluded Tuesday night, with celebrations continuing into the early hours of Wednesday. Marchand's appearance at the Elbo Room quickly stood out, not only for its fan-friendly gesture but also for its possible significance. Marchand, who joined the Panthers for this playoff run, is set to become a free agent this summer. The team is facing salary cap limitations, which could impact the ability to re-sign players like Marchand, Sam Bennett, and Aaron Ekblad. While nothing has been confirmed, Marchand's act of appreciation may also mark his final moments as a Panther. The gesture resonated with fans and reflected the team's close connection to the South Florida community.

Panthers even Stanley Cup Final with thrilling 2OT win
The post Panthers even Stanley Cup Final with thrilling 2OT win appeared first on ClutchPoints. Brad Marchand and the Florida Panthers experienced heartbreak in Game 1 of the 2025 Stanley Cup Final. The Edmonton Oilers won Game 1 in overtime thanks to Leon Draisaitl's overtime winner. In Game 2, the Panthers had to scratch and claw their way to victory. It even took overtime to seal the deal, but they were able to get the job done. Advertisement Florida had the lead late in the third period thanks to a goal from Marchand in the second. The Panthers held this lead until late in the period. Oilers veteran Corey Perry scored with less than 20 seconds left to force overtime. However, Marchand came up big again in the extra frame to give Florida the win and even the 2025 Stanley Cup Final at 1-1 as the series shifts to Sunrise, Florida. Florida heads home with a massive boost in confidence after Game 2. They had their moments to claim victory in regulation in this game. However, it took overtime to sink the Oilers. And evening the series is all they will care about at the end of the night. Panthers' Brad Marchand turns back the clock John E. Sokolowski-Imagn Images Marchand said the Panthers reminded him of his 2011 Boston Bruins squad when he first joined the team. That Bruins team had an incredible season en route to the Stanley Cup. Marchand played a big role in helping Boston defeat the Vancouver Canucks in seven games. Advertisement Marchand's goal in the second period invoked images of the 2011 Stanley Cup Final, as well. The Panthers star had a breakaway while shorthanded and slotted it home. It wasn't too dissimilar to the shorthanded goal he had against the Canucks 14 years ago. Marchand may have saved Florida's season with his heroics in Game 2. The series is certainly far from over. However, his two-goal night definitely gives the Panthers a measure of confidence heading into Game 3 against the Oilers on Monday night.

Oilers' Stuart Skinner pulled from Game 3 amid disastrous night vs. Panthers
The post Oilers' Stuart Skinner pulled from Game 3 amid disastrous night vs. Panthers appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Edmonton Oilers had some life entering Game 3 of the 2025 Stanley Cup Final. They played two extremely close games against the Florida Panthers. And they were one goal away from a 2-0 series lead. Unfortunately, they dropped the ball hard in Game 3 on Monday. Goalie Stuart Skinner was at the forefront of this disastrous performance. Advertisement Skinner allowed five goals on 23 shots against the Panthers. Edmonton did not support him at all, either, as they scored just once. In the end, Skinner was pulled from Game 3. Veteran backup Calvin Pickard took the crease to finish out the remainder of this contest. Pickard played well enough in Game 3 to stop the bleeding. However, he did not spark the team toward a miraculous victory. The Panthers won Game 3 by a score of 6-1 after they scored a power-play goal on Pickard in the third. The Oilers are down 2-1 in the 2025 Stanley Cup Final, and they are walking a razor's edge the rest of this series.

The Oilers are two games from having their season end in the ultimate heartbreak. Last season was a crushing loss without question. Having that fate repeat itself this year may go beyond crushing for this group. Let's see how the team responds in Game 4 at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida.

Panthers' Brad Marchand issues eye-opening admission on 2025 Stanley Cup Final
The post Panthers' Brad Marchand issues eye-opening admission on 2025 Stanley Cup Final appeared first on ClutchPoints. The 2025 Stanley Cup Final between the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers has been one of the most evenly matched series in recent memory, and it wouldn't be a surprise whatsoever to see this championship bout go the distance for the second year in a row again. Panthers forward Brad Marchand, who was acquired at the 2025 NHL trade deadline from the Boston Bruins, recently said ahead of Game 5 that the series has been one of the closest that fans will have the chance to watch, via Florida Hockey Now. Advertisement 'This has been a pretty incredible one,'' Marchand said via Florida Hockey Now. 'I think this is one of the tightest series anyone will ever see. Just the talent level and how close these two teams are, how back and forth the games have been, it's been very exciting.' Marchand is playing in his fourth career Stanley Cup Final, but this is his first with the Panthers. Having already raised the Stanley Cup as a member of the Bruins in 2011 after a seven-game victory before eventually suffering losses in his next two appearances, Marchand knows almost better than anyone how hard it is to be the last team standing. 'A little nerve wracking at times, but we're all big fans of the game. To have these two teams playing each other and playing the way they are and games playing out the way that they have, it makes you realize why you love the game so much,' he said. 'But also why this trophy is the hardest to win.' 'I mean, when you see the way these things play out, it's why it's so special to be part of these opportunities. You never know what's going to happen.' Advertisement Game 5 between the Panthers and Oilers is set for shortly after 8:00 p.m. ET at Rogers Place. Brad Marchand has been extremely productive for the Panthers Since coming over from the Bruins, Marchand has put his extensive postseason experience to good use for his new team. He's already scored 11 goals with eight assists in 19 postseason games for the Panthers, who have advanced to the Stanley Cup Final for the third consecutive season. Ironically, the first two trips to the Cup Final for the Panthers came after series victories over Marchand and the Bruins. The Panthers are going to need Marchand along with their other top players to be on their game on Saturday if they are to return to Florida with a 3-2 series advantage.
