Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube tried to avoid making headlines before Game 3 by downplaying the antics of Florida Panthers forward Brad Marchand. When asked about the veteran winger’s reputation as a chirper, the Leafs coach shrugged it off.

Former Panther Oliver Ekman-Larsson delivered a high hit on Florida forward Evan Rodrigues in the third period of Game 4, and Rodrigues did not return. Rodrigues suffered an undisclosed injury that sidelined him for Game 5 on Wednesday, Florida coach Paul Maurice said.

Brad Marchand saved the Panthers season from the brink with his overtime goal in Game 3 against the Maple Leafs, giving Florida a 5-4 win.

Throughout the playoffs, Marner and Marchand have scored 12 and eight total points, respectively, although Marner has appeared in one more game than his older foe as the Leafs played a six-game first-round series against the Panthers' five-game one.

Marchand scored the game-winning goal with 4:33 left in overtime as Florida beat Toronto in Game 3 of their second-round playoff series.

Two days shy of his 37th birthday, Marchand became the oldest player (36 years, 363 days) in Panthers history with an overtime goal, beating Mike Hough (33 years, 96 days) in Game 5 of the 1996 Conference Semifinals.

The four-word post wasn't the first time Bissonnette has taken aim at Marchand and the Panthers. At the start of the month, ahead of the start of the Maple Leafs-Panthers series, Bissonnette warned Florida. “Now it's on to Goliath, the Florida Panthers, and we have unfinished business with you,” Bissonnette said.

Panthers forward Brad Marchand is a free agent at the end of this postseason, and he could head to a division rival.
