It’s barely been a day since Eetu Luostarinen’s confession about Brad Marchand on a Finnish morning radio show, Aamulypsy, surfaced. There, the 26-year-old explained how, despite being over a decade older than him, keeping up with Brad Marchand was no easy task. “Last year, it went very well, but our Rat, Brad Marchand, has brought some new energy to our locker room and even to partying,” confessed Matthew Tkachuk‘s teammate.

And while the mega-celebration events ended with Sunday’s victory parade in Fort Lauderdale, Marchand and the boys are still at it. In fact, when the Spittin’ Chiclets Ryan Whitney, Paul Bissonnette, and Mike Grinnell connected with Tkachuk and Sam Reinhart, who were chilling at the pool, Brad Marchand crashed the call in a pleasant surprise. Naturally, Grinnell couldn’t let Marchy go without a question, but they were not ready for the answer.

“Marchy, what were you going back into E11even to do when Barky grabbed you by the shoulder and said, ‘It’s over, Marchy. The night’s done,'” asked the Barstool Sports producer. “I had to go back and f—–g bring it, boys. It was 5 a.m.,” confessed Marchand, leaving everyone in splits. But it was Matthew Tkachuk who stunned them with a little detail about the bill.

“He was going to pay, and then realized that, ‘Oh! That’s a 500k comp.'” revealed the Florida Panther alternate captain. Not only was the $500,000 party bill a mind-boggling amount, but what impressed all three hosts was that the Miami club was gracious enough to waive it completely. “That’s f—— unbelievable,” said BizzNasty, praising the club’s gesture to the champions.

However, the other highlight of the revelation was Marchand going back in for more at 5 in the morning. “I know you guys have been there. You don’t leave E11even before you get kicked out,” said Matthew Tkachuk’s teammate. So it’s no wonder Luostarinen said he couldn’t keep up with the 37-year-old. “You gotta run pretty fast if you wanna keep up with him,” confessed the NHL center. Yet, revealing the $500k tab wasn’t the only explosive thing the 27-year-old alternate captain did.

Matthew Tkachuk channeled Connor McGregor on stage

On Sunday, June 22nd, the atmosphere along the A1A was electric. Last year, around 200,000 people lined the streets and the Fort Lauderdale beachfront to cheer on the first-time champions. This year, that number doubled as the barricades lining the street buckled under the pressure of about 400,000 fans waiting to greet the Panthers’ victory parade. Many fans had prepared for it.

“We missed the parade last year because we had a vacation planned. No more summer vacation until July,” diehard Cats fan Marty Kareff of Coral Springs told the Miami Herald. And as the players got up on stage to address the fans, the team once again felt the love and support from the fans. “I can get used to this,” said Matthew Tkachuk as he stared at the crowd from the stage before addressing something Florida’s critics often like to point out.

“I was talking to Gustav Forsling in the back, and we thought about one of my favorite lines ever, and it was: I would like to apologize to absolutely f—–g nobody, because the double champs does what the f— he wants,” said Matthew Tkachuk. The Florida forward’s best Connor McGregor impression came in the context of the many criticizing the team’s scrappy play style.

What’s more? His teammate Sam Bennett said the same thing on stage. “A lot of people don’t like the way we play. They call us dirty, they call us nasty, they call us bullies,” said Bennett before quoting the former UFC double champ. McGregor had infamously said these lines after becoming the UFC’s first simultaneous double-weight class champion. So it’s safe to say Matthew Tkachuk and Co. have no plans of dialing down their heavy-hitting play style.
