Coach Paul Maurice recently declared this year's Florida Panthers as potentially the best team he has ever coached, citing the impact of new addition Brad Marchand. In Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final, Marchand's late-game heroics included scoring twice, with one being the decisive game-winner in double overtime, leveling the series 1-1 against the Edmonton Oilers. The team's resilience, highlighted by their comeback from early deficits, showcases their confidence and leadership, fostering a strong mentality as they prepare for upcoming games at home.
If this year's team is better to prove Maurice right -- still to be determined -- look back to Game 2 for the answer why.
Marchand scored twice including the game-winner in double-overtime that won Game 2, 5-4, and evened this Stanley Cup Final series 1-1.
His energy, his battle... He's just an absolute dog. That’s what we need in our group.”
Us against the world, we've got battle scars on us. We're a strong group mentally.
