FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Brad Marchand is setting the record straight: The Florida Panthers forward was enjoying a spoonful of honey — not ice cream — between periods of Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals.
And with that, the investigation into Blizzardgate is now closed.
Marchand went viral on Saturday after telling Sportsnet reporter Kyle Bukauskas that he was having a Blizzard from Dairy Queen between the second and third periods of Florida’s game against the Carolina Hurricanes. There was video of Marchand using a spoon to eat something during that intermission, which prompted the question.
