I’ll never ever pull for the #Panthers – first of all, Florida? Nope nope nope never. Second of all: Fuck the Tkachuk brothers. Asshats through & through.
But it was fun to watch Brad Marchand lift the metaphorical double middle fingers at Boston by contributing a total of 10 goals & 10 assists to the Panthers’ Stanley Cup win. (6 of those goals in the final series against the Oilers, when he really came alive.)
Lotta people don’t like Marchand, but the dude can skate.
The most interesting statistic for me, across this final series w/the Oilers, is the count of goals by Canadian players for each team:
- Oilers goals by Canadian players: 9/17 (53%)
- Panthers goals by Canadian players: 21/28 (75%)
The Canadian Olympic team is going to be amazing to watch.
