Brad Marchand excited to join Panthers on potential Cup run

Brad Marchand wore something with his new team's logo on it for the first time Sunday night.
He was FaceTiming his kids. There was a Florida Panthers hat on the table in front of him.
"We were about to hang up ... and I was like, 'before you go, look at this,'" Marchand said. "And I put it on. It was a weird feeling."
Marchand still felt a little strange fully dressed in Panthers gear Monday morning: a red jacket with the logo emblazoned on the front, a matching navy blue Florida hat on his head.
But it's a feeling he's starting to get used to just three days after being traded to Florida from the Boston Bruins, where he'd spent his entire 16-season NHL career.
