Marchand scored a goal on two shots in the Florida Panthers’ 6-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 3. After the game, a video showed him eating something with a spoon in the Panthers' locker room.

A reporter asked him about it, to which Marchand responded:

“Yeah, that's a little chocolate chip cookie dough Blizzard right there. You can't beat it. It's the best dessert in the world. So, I better get a lifetime free supply of Dairy Queen now.”

B/R Open Ice posted the video on X, with the caption,

“Brad Marchand was downing a Cookie Dough DQ Blizzard during intermission 😭 Dude really said Blizzards > Hurricanes.”

Brad Marchand's comments on Panthers' Game 3 win

After Game 3, Brad Marchand said the Panthers are focused on the series despite their 3-0 lead against the Carolina Hurricanes.

“You don’t think about that,” Marchand said, via NHL.com. “We are prepared to go seven here. The biggest thing with this group is that we’re really good at focusing on what we need to do, stay in the moment, and not look ahead. You can’t start looking ahead. That’s a very dangerous game to play.”

Marchand played an important role in the Panthers' dominance. In 15 playoff games, Marchand has four goals and 13 points.
