First Official Look Of Brad Marchand With The Florida Panthers And It's Ugly

Even though the trade happened a couple of days ago, seeing him with the Florida Panthers still feels a little surreal.

Monday, Brad Marchand was officially introduced as a member of the Florida Panthers. Marchand wasted no time in cracking a joke showing the Florida media what they are going to get in him.

Marchand is known around the league as one of the best trash talkers, and he is quick on his feet with it, this is something the Panthers media is going to learn quickly.

When a big trade like the Marchand one happens, everyone is eager to get a picture of the new guy wearing their new gear, and that was the case with Brad Marchand as dozens of pictures are already circulating on social media of Marchand in his first appearance with the Panthers.

Here are the first few pictures of Brad Marchand rocking some Florida Panthers gear:

This is going to take sometime to get use to for fans around the National Hockey League. Some fans, including Boston Bruins fans may never get over the fact that General Manager Don Sweeney ended up trading Brad Marchand.

It will be a big adjustment for fans around the National Hockey League who have come to either love or hate the Boston Bruins' "Little ball of hate" but nowhere will that be more true than in the city of Boston itself. In fact I would argue that, given the reactions I have seen over the weekend, it may be a moment that some fans in Boston will never truly get over.
