I hate to see two of South Florida's best collide, but oh my goodness, this is so entertaining.
Aaron EkbladThe Florida Panthers defenseman had a blunt message for the LIV golf superstar. Brooks Koepka At the Stanley Cup victory parade/rally in Fort Lauderdale on Sunday.
Ekblad walked up to the podium during the rally with a traffic cone on his head.
“Damn you, Brooks Koepka!” Ekblad yelled. (Related: No sports team has celebrated a championship in more epic fashion than the Florida Panthers)
The outburst was clearly a hint at a bit of comical history between the two.
In March 2023, Koepka was at a Panthers game at Amerand Bank Arena when, while in his suite, Koepka, a Panthers fan, was holding a traffic cone and teased Ekblad by pointing at it and saying he was bad. (LOL)
It was truly a glorious moment in Florida Panthers history.

Now, Ekblad is determined to use the rally to hit back at Koepka, and what better way to do that than championship glory?

As much as I love these two guys, it's hard not to enjoy the comedic value of this whole situation.
I mean… come on… this whole fight started over a traffic cone. (LOL)
