“It is a surface where I could do very well and achieve great success, but I haven’t done anything yet.” American tennis sensation Ben Shelton was skeptical last season ahead of his Wimbledon campaign on grass. However, he did leave a mark, reaching the R16 in just his second appearance at the All England Club. It was notable considering he had failed to clear the second round in 2023. One can say the lefty is slowly getting habituated to the green surface each season.

The audacious campaign has finally come to an end. Surprising many hockey fans, the Panthers picked up their second consecutive Stanley Cup win. However, for Brad Marchand, the jubilation might be even more amplified than most of his teammates. And he’s doing everything he can to make sure that he doesn’t miss out on any chance to commemorate his first stint with the South Florida team. The former Boston Bruins captain was traded to the Cats in March, just ahead of the trade deadline.

It was Sam Reinhart and Matthew Tkachuk who put the Florida Panthers in front in Game 6 on Tuesday, a lead the Oilers never managed to catch up with for the rest of the match. That, in essence, was another recap of how the Cats played all season: in close cohesion with each other. And now, as the post-Cup win celebrations rage on, it looks like Chucky is eager to help out his other teammates off the ice, even though the opening came thanks to Aleksander Barkov.

Undoubtedly, something to be cheery about. And it looks like Brad Marchand is making sure to mark the occasion with enthusiasm. So much so that even Aleksander Barkov is having a tough time keeping up.

“This was 1 of the tournaments when I was younger I felt I had the best shot of winning.” A jubilant Coco Gauff couldn’t control her tears of joy after completing a longtime dream of lifting the Suzanne Lenglen trophy. She finally did it, earlier this month, with a hard-earned victory in the summit clash of the French Open. Against World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka, the 21-year-old came back from being one set down. She emerged triumphant with a score line of 6-7, 6-2, 6-4.

It’s not every day that you get to represent the nation on the international stage. And to do it with your sibling by your side? Priceless. That’s exactly what Brady and Matthew Tkachuk probably felt when they laced up in Team USA colors for the 4 Nations Face Off in February. However, that campaign didn’t turn out to be the rainbows and unicorns the hockey brothers would have wanted. But redemption lies on the horizon?

When Brad Marchand came to Florida, he immediately felt at home with the Panthers. “They’re in to win it, and it’s special to be a part of,” said the Canadian winger about his squad, acknowledging his excitement to see how the high-profile collab would unfold. But back in March, he probably wouldn’t have guessed that his first stint with the Miami team would turn out to be so profoundly successful. But could that be enough to sway Marchand’s decision about his future?

“We just didn’t handle the pressure,” admitted a long-faced Craig Berube after the Florida Panthers eliminated the Toronto Maple Leafs from the Cup race in Round 2 of the playoffs. And yet, as the Stanley Cup is confirmed to be staying back in South Florida, it seems like the Leafs fans think their team put up a much better resistance against the back-to-back champs than the Oilers did in the Finals. In Game 6 of the ultimate best-of-7 series, the Florida Panthers crushed Edmonton 5-0.

As if playing 82 games in the regular season wasn’t enough! In the postseason, the Florida Panthers have also had to play at least 5 games against each opponent in all three rounds before making it to the Stanley Cup Finals! And they’ve had to do it twice in two years! Those, without a doubt, are two seriously exhausting seasons. However, Paul Maurice couldn’t be prouder of how this squad has stepped up to the challenge.
