“We were just calm. That’s what this team is. We’re calm,” said a beaming Brad Marchand as the Florida Panthers trounced the Carolina Hurricanes to reach the Stanley Cup Finals for the third consecutive season. However, some would argue that it was the 37-year-old’s nibbling on the “Blizzard” that helped the Cats keep their cool. And now, it looks like even the fans want in on the joke that’s been taking the community by storm.
Ahead of Game 4 between the Cats and the Canes, Brad Marchand sent the fans spiraling as they speculated what the Panthers’ winger was seen eating during a break in the previous game. Coach Paul Maurice jokingly labeled the speculations as a “conspiracy theory,” while Marchand himself claimed it was only honey. However, it seems like the Florida loyalists are rather interested in keeping things more ice cream-focused. And Brad isn’t one to complain.
In a post on X from May 31 by the official Florida Panthers account, one fan can be seen taking Brad Marchand’s Blizzard obsession a little too seriously. Only recently, the winger’s teammate, Carter Verhaeghe, claimed that Brad is the “biggest DQ advocate there is,” and this fan only sought to give the Canadian something to show his love for Dairy Queen in an even better way.
Captioned, “thinking about blizzards all day long,” the post shows Brad Marchand being handed two custom stickers, in the Panthers’ locker room, designed specially for him by a fan. The stickers capture the star’s love for chocolate chip cookie dough Blizzard, and Marchand couldn’t hold back on his happiness. “Wow! I like it. Thank you very much!” Marchand could be heard saying as he took a good gander at the stickers.

Immediately, he knew how to make use of the gifts. “That’s gonna go on my locker,” said Brad, holding up one of those stickers, while revealing the purpose for the second one, “…and that’s gonna go on my car mirror, so I can think of Blizzard all day long,” Marchand grinned.
