Brad Marchand jokes about his mom's celebration to his Game 2 2OT winner

Brad Marchand's mom, Lynn, had a memorable moment during Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers on Friday.

She was ecstatic, captured cheering loudly with her face red with joy as Brad Marchand scored the winning goal for the Panthers in double overtime. After the game, Marchand jokingly commented on his mother's reaction, noting that she needs to be kept in check during games.

"She is one that you need to put a muzzle on. She gets pretty amped up at the games," Marchand said. "You know, they've always been so supportive, like all of our parents. I mean, I don't think there's a player in this league that could say that their parents are not, you know, the main reason why they're here, the sacrifices they all make."

Marchand added that reaching the finals is a shared victory for players, family, and loved ones who helped along the way.

"When you go on a journey as a team and you're in, you know, you get to the finals and you're going on a run, it's not just for you, it's for everybody that helped you get here, and all your loved ones that are enjoying the moments, whether they're here or not. So it's special to have them in the building, but hopefully we get a lot of great memories in the future as well."

Brad Marchand potted two goals in the game, bringing his total to 10 and making him the leading active NHL player for Stanley Cup Final goals.
