Former Bruins captain Brad Marchand wins Stanley Cup with Florida Panthers

Yahoo28-06-2025
Brad Marchand is a Stanley Cup champion once again.
The former Bruins captain won his second Cup on Tuesday night, as his Florida Panthers defeated the Edmonton Oilers, 5-1, in Game 6. It'd been 14 years since Marchand won his first with Boston in 2011.

Marchand was outstanding in Florida's playoff run, scoring 10 goals and adding 10 assists in 23 postseason games. Six of those goals came in the Stanley Cup Final against Edmonton, including a double overtime winner in Game 2.
Not seeing eye-to-eye with the 37-year-old on a contract beyond this season, Boston traded Marchand at the deadline for a first-round pick. That selection will either be in 2027 or 2028, depending on whether Florida makes a move with their 2026 first-rounder ahead of next week's NHL Draft.
So what's next for Marchand?
A free agent on July 1, he told SportsNet's Elliotte Friedman that 'anything's on the table' for next season in an interview earlier this month.

'I've thought about potential situations. But until you know what options are (out there) — it's all theoretical," Marchand said. 'So, I kind of parked all that. And I'm just — especially right now — just being in the moment and enjoying it. I don't want to take anything away from it."

Four-time Olympic gold-medal winner Léon Marchand is back and chasing more world records

SINGAPORE (AP) — Léon Marchand's life changed drastically after he won four gold medals a year ago in the Paris Olympics. He was a national hero and had to adjust — particularly when he was at home in France. 'I have to plan things,' Marchand explained Saturday. 'I can't just go on my own in the city and just go get bread.' 'I know how to say 'no' better,' he added. 'It gets a lot more peaceful when I travel out of France.' After swimming under the tutelage of Bob Bowman at the University of Texas at Austin, Marchand is back and will head the field at the swimming world championships — the biggest meet since the Olympics. It's also the stepping stone for many toward the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics with races in the pool starting Sunday and running through Aug. 3. Marchand, Canada's Summer McIntosh, and Katie Ledecky of the United States were the stars in Paris. They'll be the swimmers to watch in Singapore, joined by a host of Olympians and younger swimmers who hope to be in Los Angeles in three years. The youngest in the field is 12-year-old Yu Zidi of China, who could be a medal contender in her three races with times — and youth — that are shocking global swimming. Marchand will swim only the 200-meter and 400-meter individual medleys and some team relays, opting out of his other gold-medal events in Paris — the 200 butterfly and 200 breaststroke. 'This is a transition year for me, so I wanted to have a lighter schedule than usual," Marchand said. 'I'm really excited to do just less than usual, you know, just to see how far I can go, how fast I can go.' Marchand will be after the 200 IM record set in 2011 by American Ryan Lochte — 1 minute, 54.00 seconds. He'll also try to break his own 400 IM record (4:02.50) set at the 2023 worlds in Fukuoka, Japan. He credits Bowman — famous for coaching Michael Phelps to 23 Olympic gold medals — for pushing him at Texas. Bowman tutors an international cast of swimmers that this fall will also include McIntosh. 'He knows how to be calm in every situation,' Marchand said of Bowman. "I think he taught us throughout the years. He also had a lot of experience on the biggest stage, so I trust him fully.' Without the stress of two extra races, Marchand is ready to make more history. 'Of course I want to break all the records,' he said. "I don't know when that's going to happen' Many are expecting it in Singapore. ___ AP sports:

Zach Neto delivers walk-off hit in Angels' 3-2 victory over Mariners

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Zach Neto capped his bobblehead giveaway night with a two-out RBI single in the 10th inning to lift the Los Angeles Angels to a 3-2 win over the Seattle Mariners on Friday night. Jose Rodriguez hit two solo homers for the Mariners, but Angels reliever Ryan Zeferjahn (6-3) escaped a two-on, no-out jam in the top of the 10th, and Neto grounded his winning hit off the glove of diving second baseman Cole Young for the first walk-off hit of his career. Neto had two hits and scored a run, and Jo Adell drove in two runs for the Angels, who snapped a four-game losing streak. Mariners right-hander Casey Legumina (4-5) took the loss. Seattle starter Bryan Woo gave up two runs and four hits in six innings, striking out six and walking two. Angels starter José Soriano allowed two runs and four hits in six innings, striking out five and walking one. Rodriguez lined a 98-mph sinker from Soriano over the right-center field wall in the first for his 16th homer of the season and a 1-0 Mariners lead. Adell, who was mired in a 1-for-20 slump, lined a two-out, two-run double to left in the bottom of the inning for a 2-1 lead. Rodriguez opened the sixth with a 408-foot shot to left for his fifth career multihomer game and a 2-all tie. Key Moment With two on, Zeferjahn struck out Cal Raleigh looking with a 99-mph fastball to preserve a 2-2 tie in the 10th. Key Stat Woo has thrown six innings or more with two or fewer walks in all 20 starts this season, the fourth-longest streak of its kind in major league history behind San Francisco's Juan Marichal (23 games in 1968), Seattle/Texas's Cliff Lee (21 games in 2010) and Arizona's Curt Schilling (21 in 2002). Up Next Mariners RHP George Kirby (4-5, 4.65 ERA) opposes Angels LHP Tyler Anderson (2-6, 4.43) on Saturday night. ___ AP MLB: Mike Digiovanna, The Associated Press
