This is the second year in a row the Florida Panthers are celebrating winning the Stanley Cup, but Brad Marchand's first time since 2011.
Before the Panthers even left the ice with the cup, they ended up damaging it during their celebration in front of their home fans.
Edmonton and Florida had a hard fought series, but the Panthers ended up coming out victorious, winning the series in 6 games.
Panthers damage the Stanley Cup
The Florida Panthers are probably still celebrating their win over the Edmonton Oilers, but before they were even able to leave the ice with it, they broke it.
Photos surfaced on social media showing that the Panthers ended up cracking one of the greatest trophies in sports you could win:
There still is no explanation on what ended up happened, but it's not the first time something like this has happened.
The Stanley Cup has had it's fair shares of dents and cracks in it over it's time, so Brad Marchand and the Panthers are not the first ones to do it.
It happens more often then people may think.
Just three years ago, when the Colorado Avalanche won the Stanley Cup in 2022, Nicolas Aube-Kubel ended up dropping the Stanley Cup on the ice, breaking it as well.
Before being fixed, the Florida Panthers are going to do their celebrations with it, and then it will be good as new for the next winner in the 2025-26 season.
