Brad Marchand speaks up regarding his teammates season ending injury in Florida and it says a lot about his character.
The Florida Panthers are facing adversity in one of the worst ways possible.
They will be without their captain Aleksander Barkov for the entire 2025-26 NHL season, and potentially the playoffs... if they make it, that is.
Not only is Barkov out, but so is Matthew Tkachuk until new years or possibly even longer.
"Florida Panthers Captain Aleksander Barkov suffered injuries to his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and medial collateral ligament (MCL) at yesterday's practice.Today, he underwent successful surgery by Dr. John Uribe at Baptist Health Doctors Hospital. He will be re-evaluated on an ongoing basis.The expected recovery timeline for these injuries is 7 to 9 months."

Brad Marchand finds silver lining to Aleksander Barkov's injury
Brad Marchand, former Boston Bruins captain, has found a silver lining to the incident.
And it's showing his leadership, as well as his true colors, despite being rivals with the Panthers before, Marchand's differences have been put aside since the moment he stepped foot in Florida.
Brad Marchand with a very insightful answer when asked about the Panthers handling the absence of Aleksander Barkov:
«He's the best two-way player in the game. You can't replace that. But, collectively as a group, you just try to all pick up a little piece of that and try a little bit harder, try to fill in where you can, and hopefully as a group, you can come together.»

We miss this Brad in Boston, and hopefully one day he can make his return to where it all started.
