Must See: New York Rangers Fall Victim To Brad Marchand's Trolling on Social Media

Florida Panthers forward Brad Marchand spent last night trolling all of the NHL. Marchand would take the time to "thank" each team for their contributions to the Panthers' latest Stanley Cup win, and the Rangers were one of many teams who inadvertently contributed to their second Cup.
The Florida Panthers and Brad Marchand both won their second Stanley Cup. In doing so, they showed that they had solved the Edmonton Oilers.
The Panthers have effectively neutralized Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid for another year.
But you need the right talent to win the Stanley Cup, and Bil Zito cooked yet another amazing lineup this year.
It included former New York Rangers defenseman Niko Mikkola, whom GM Chris Drury let walk two years ago.
Which, of course, Brad Marchand's not going to let Drury forget that mistake.
Mikkola wasn't even offered a contract, and Bill Zito took advantage of Drury's fumble by signing him to a deal on Jul 1, 2023.
Since then, he's been a Swiss-Army knife kind of player that the Panthers treasure. Plenty of physicality with some offensive upside to match.
And he's been rewarded with a nice contract totaling $7.5 million with the Panthers, as a top-pairing defenseman with Seth Jones to his right.
Mikkola has also been a benefactor of being a mainstay in Florida, as he's now won two Stanley Cups consecutively in Sunrise.
The former Rangers defenseman has played 76 games this year and scored 22 points (6-16).
The Finnish defenseman began his NHL career with the St. Louis Blues and now has two Cups to his name.
Can't think of a bigger glow-up for someone who was relatively unknown to start.
