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.
