The four-word post wasn't the first time Bissonnette has taken aim at Marchand and the Panthers. At the start of the month, ahead of the start of the Maple Leafs-Panthers series, Bissonnette warned Florida. “Now it's on to Goliath, the Florida Panthers, and we have unfinished business with you,” Bissonnette said.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Brad Marchand is many things. Sarcastic, most definitely. A pest on the ice, absolutely. Someone who doesn't mind a little bonus physicality, goes without saying. His “little ball of hate” nickname even got repeated once by President Barack Obama. The Florida Panthers knew all of this when they acquired him.

It was a far less dramatic game in Winnipeg as the Jets handily defeated the Dallas Stars, 4-0, to tie their second-round series at one game apiece. Jets forward Nikolaj Ehlers recorded a goal and an assist, while goaltender Connor Hellebuyck stopped all 22 shots that he faced for his first shutout this postseason.

Marchand’s game-ending goal was the 33rd of his career against the Maple Leafs, tied with Henri Richard for the third-most against Toronto in NHL history. Only Detroit Red Wings legends Gordie Howe (53) and Alex Delvecchio (35) have more.

Brad Marchand haunted the Toronto Maple Leafs again, and Mitch Marner had nothing but compliments for his on-ice enemy. Marchand has been a thorn in Toronto's side on numerous occasions.
