Brad Marchand is an agitator on and off the ice, and didn’t let the Calgary Flames, Buffalo Sabres, and other teams forget their huge mistake as several teams helped contribute to the Panthers’ second Stanley Cup victory.

The Florida Panthers convincingly secured their second-Stanley Cup, as they beat the Edmonton Oilers handily in six games.

The Panthers have been run by Paul Maurice, who has taken them to three Stanley Cup finals and won two of them during his tenure.

With the latest arrival of Brad Marchand, you’ll never run out of highlight-reel plays, and soundbites to play when he talks trash to you, or your team.

Just his way of getting into your head, both on and off the ice.

Well, he’s not stopping the trash-talking as he’s decided to call out each NHL team that contributed a player to the team’s second cup run.

You can see he didn’t forget the key contributors: Sam Bennett and Matthew Tkachuk, who were dealt to Florida by GM Brad Treliving and the Calgary Flames. While Sam Reinhart was sent to Florida for a 2022 1st-round pick, and goalie prospect Devon Levi.

Of course, you can’t forget the sister club in Florida, the Tampa Bay Lightning, who gifted Carter Verhaeghe to the Panthers, who signed him in October 2020 and have been a fixture in the lineup since. He has three-Stanley Cups to his name now.

Marchand should thank the Winnipeg Jets, who let Paul Maurice walk, and the players who gave up on him.

He’s been one of the best coaches in the league since taking over in Florida, and has proven us all wrong along the way.
