Brad Marchand’s Late Heroics Propel Panthers to Crucial Game 5 Victory Over Oilers in Stanley Cup Final Showdown
Marchand is now the first player since Wayne Gretzky to score six goals in a Stanley Cup Final, and he’s one goal away from tying Gretzky and Mike Bossy for the most Final goals ever in the modern era. I’m not even sure the Panthers thought they were going to get this level of play out of Marchand when they acquired him right under the wire at the trade deadline.
It’s not a stretch to say this may be the best hockey Marchand has ever played. It’s certainly among the best stretches of his career, including his five-goal performance in the 2011 Stanley Cup Final, when Marchand led the Boston Bruins to a Game 7 win over the Vancouver Canucks.
