Brad Marchand takes a shot at Sam Bennett during the Stanley Cup parade.

It was impressive to watch former Boston Bruins captain Brad Marchand fit in seamlessly with the Florida Panthers after having only played for 1 team across his entire National Hockey League career, even more so when you consider some of the unique challenges Marchand had to overcome to do so.

There was no love loss between Marchand and the Florida Panthers after the two had clashed on opposite sides in the Stanley Cup playoffs, with perhaps Marchand's most notorious nemesis being Panthers forward Sam Bennett. Marchand was, quite literally, knocked out of the playoffs by Bennett just one year earlier when Bennett delivered what many felt was a deliberate sucker punch to the head of Marchand.

If you don't know the incident I am referring to, here's a refresher:

In spite of the seemingly difficult circumstances, Marchand would swallow his pride and perform at an exceptional level for the Panthers, even earning a number of first place votes for the Conn Smythe trophy during his incredible playoff run.

On Sunday however, during the Panthers celebratory Stanley Cup parade, Marchand would bring the incident back up while speaking in front of the crowd gathered in attendance for the Panthers Stanley Cup parade. Marchand used the opportunity to poke fun at both Bennett and the incident itself, drawing a big laugh from both his new teammates and the crowd.

"I'm so happy I don't have to play against these guys anymore," said Marchand. "And I'm so happy that I don't have to worry about getting knocked out by Benny anymore."
