The Florida Panthers defeated the Edmonton Oilers by a 5-2 final score in Game 5. This was a massive win for the Panthers, as they now have a 3-2 series lead and are just one win away from lifting the Stanley Cup for the second year in a row.
Panthers star Brad Marchand was certainly a huge reason why Florida won Game 5. He put together an excellent performance, scoring two beautiful goals during the contest.
Marchand’s second goal, however, was incredible. After receiving a pass from Eetu Luostarinen, Marchand made an amazing move by Oilers defenseman Jake Walman before beating Calvin Pickard five-hole.
In response to Marchand’s awesome second goal, Panthers teammate Matthew Tkachuk was shocked and hilariously shouted “oh my god” six times.

Tkachuk’s reaction to Marchand’s goal is understandable, as it was a great one from No. 63. It was also an incredibly important one, as it gave the Panthers a 3-0 lead in third period and ended up being the game-winner.
Marchand, Tkachuk, and the Panthers will now look to stay hot and defeat the Oilers in Game 6 from here.
