Former Bruins captain Brad Marchand wins Stanley Cup with Florida Panthers
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. Advertisement 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. Advertisement '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." More Bruins content Read the original article on MassLive.

Oakmont Claims Next Victim as U.S. Open Favorite Withdraws
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The 2025 U.S. Open has wreaked havoc all week, with more players finishing 20-over par or worse than in red figures. That is because Oakmont Country Club has been a beast, and has even left some literally feeling the pain. Corey Conners came into the 125th U.S. Open ranked among the Top 30 players in the field at Oakmont Country Club. Instead of being among those who get a cut of the $21.5 million purse, he heads home early. The Canadian golfer withdrew from a tournament for the first time in his PGA Tour career. BREAKING: Corey Conners has withdrawn from the U.S. Open due to the wrist injury — Adam Stanley (@adam_stanley) June 15, 2025 He pulled out of the competition due to a wrist injury during the first round when he hit a television cable at Oakmont Country Club, per Sports Net reporter Adam Stanley. Conners shot 72-74 in the first two rounds and got off to a hot start on Saturday. He was 3-under through five holes, but once he got to the 11th, disaster happened. OAKMONT, PENNSYLVANIA - JUNE 14: Corey Conners of Canada get treatment on the 12th tee during the third round of the 125th U.S. OPEN at Oakmont Country Club on June 14, 2025 in Oakmont, Pennsylvania.... OAKMONT, PENNSYLVANIA - JUNE 14: Corey Conners of Canada get treatment on the 12th tee during the third round of the 125th U.S. OPEN at Oakmont Country Club on June 14, 2025 in Oakmont, Pennsylvania. More Photo byStanley first reported that Conners hurt his wrist on his approach shot on 11, where he had a plugged lie. He hacked it out, but came up holding his wrist. At this point, Conners radioed to get a medical person out on the course so that they could check him out. The 33-year-old received treatment from Dr. Stuart Love, the Canadian sports chiropractor, on the 12th tee because they had to keep up the pace. Conners pushed through, but came home 5-over on the back nine. He finished the third round at 8-over heading into the last day of play. Sunday morning, Conners showed up and began his warm-up, but quickly realized playing golf was not happening. "I'm told Corey hit six pitch shots this morning and hurt on every one. Done and out," Stanley wrote in a tweet update after he announced Conners would withdraw. I'm told Corey hit six pitch shots this morning and hurt on every one. Done and out. Unfortunate as he was playing so well through Saturday morning before the plugged lie hack. — Adam Stanley (@adam_stanley) June 15, 2025 Conners and Ryan Fox were slated for the 10:20 a.m. ET tee time. Instead, the RBC Canadian Open winner will have to play as a solo for the final 18 holes at Oakmont. The two-time PGA Tour winner has played some strong golf in 2025, with five top-10s in 15 starts. He only missed one cut ahead of this third major, the Sony Open in Hawaii. His best finish came at the Arnold Palmer Invitational when he claimed solo third. Since that finish, Conners went T6, T8, T18 and left The Masters with his fourth top 10 in five starts. Conners capped off the PGA Championship with a T19. Hopefully, the two-time Presidents Cup team member will recover quickly before the fourth and final major, The Open Championship at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland. Conners clinched his spot at Portrush earlier this year after his incredible performance at Bay Hill. More Golf: Wyndham Clark Loses Temper, Goes Berserk in U.S. Open Locker Room

It never gets old for Corey Perry, now in his sixth Stanley Cup final
Article content 'We've got some guys who don't know that feeling (Jeff Skinner after 1,078 league games). We said after Game 7 (loss in Florida last June) we would be back. And we are back,' said Perry. It never gets old for Perry, being on one of the last two teams standing. Now Perry is old, at least what is says on his birth certificate. But not at work. 'What is he, 56?' kidded his friend and former Anaheim Ducks teammate Kevin Bieksa on SportsNet Thursday night after Perry, who turned 40 two weeks ago scored the Edmonton Oilers ' first goal, flipping one off Stars' goalie Jake Oettinger's arm and into the Dallas net on the power play. Perry's seven goals are remarkably the same as Leon Draisaitl has through the Oilers 16-game run to another Cup finals matchup with Florida Panthers. Only the ousted Mikko Rantanen (Dallas) and Sam Bennett (Florida), who have nine, and Carolina's Andrei Svechnikov (eight) have more than Perry. Chew on that.

Marchand comes clean about his Panthers intermission snack — and it wasn't Dairy Queen
Brad Marchand has come clean. No, the veteran forward was not eating a Dairy Queen Blizzard in the Florida Panthers' dressing room during the second intermission of the team's eventual 6-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference final. So what was on the spoon that cameras caught him with during the intermission? 'Honey,' Marchand said after Florida's morning skate Monday. The Dairy Queen in question during his postgame interview on SportsNet — specifically his chocolate chip cookie dough Blizzard — was from a trip with a few teammates while they were in Raleigh, North Carolina, for the first two games of the series. 'I was kind of making a joke,' Marchand said. 'I think people took it seriously. The amount of messages I got about people going to Dairy Queen yesterday — I appreciate the support. I love a good Blizzard more than anybody, but it's not something I've had in the middle of a game ... yet.' As for the honey? There's a story behind that, too. 'I've always loved honey,' Marchand said. 'Actually, when I was growing up, I loved Winnie the Pooh. So I used to have a Winnie the Pooh bear and I would feed him honey. It was covered — covered — and rock hard. I've always enjoyed it.' So the tale of Marchand with the Panthers continues. He's been stellar on the ice for Florida, entering Game 4 against the Hurricanes with 13 points (four goals, nine assists) in 15 games. He quickly integrated into the team culture as well, so much so that the team shoots rubber rats at him on the ice after wins. He knows how to draw a crowd. That's been known throughout his 16-year NHL career. And nothing is changing now.
