Brad Marchand reacts to ‘big 3' tweet with viral photo of Panthers' third line
Image Via Florida Panthers' Instagram Brad Marchand knows how to have fun with the spotlight, and his latest Instagram post proves it. After fans and analysts dubbed the Florida Panthers' third line the 'big 3,' Marchand leaned right into the hype, dropping a photo that instantly went viral. It was a light-hearted but confident response to a growing conversation about how impactful that line has been this season. Brad Marchand leans into 'big 3' buzz with Instagram post The viral moment came after a social media post jokingly asked if the Panthers had the best third line in the NHL. Featuring Brad Marchand, Anton Lundell, and Eetu Luostarinen, the line has drawn serious attention for its strong two-way play and offensive contributions, despite being labeled a 'third' unit. Rather than stay quiet, Marchand embraced the chatter. He posted a photo of himself alongside Anton Lundell and Eetu Luostarinen in response to the 'big 3' tweet, playfully leaning into the buzz surrounding the Florida Panthers' third line. It was a playful yet pointed nod to the 'big 3' comparison that's been floating around hockey Twitter and beyond. Marchand's response wasn't just fun, it underlined the growing belief that Florida's depth scoring has been one of its greatest strengths. As analysts debated top forward trios across the league, many began to question if any third line had outperformed what Florida's had on the ice this postseason. Florida Panthers' third line proving it's more than just depth The Marchand–Lundell–Luostarinen trio has consistently shown it can tilt the ice. Whether it's logging critical minutes against top competition or chipping in with timely goals, the line's presence has added stability and threat to every game Florida plays. Marchand, acquired mid-season, brings championship experience and fire, while Lundell and Luostarinen have grown into versatile, high-IQ players capable of dominating both ends of the rink. Together, they've been responsible for several momentum-shifting plays and have outperformed many top-six units across the league in key playoff matchups. Their chemistry, balance, and confidence have turned what was once considered a support unit into a headline act. Brad Marchand's viral post did more than just make fans laugh, it put a spotlight on one of the most effective lines in the league right now. The Panthers' third line may be flying under the radar in name, but their performance and Marchand's reaction makes it clear: this "big 3" is no joke.
