First look at Brad Marchand, Florida Panther.

I must say, in spite of the fact that there have now been a few days to digest the shocking trade that sent Boston Bruins captain Brad Marchand to the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers, this is still a little surreal to witness.

On Monday, Brad Marchand was introduced for the very first time as a member of a team that isn't the Boston Bruins when he walked into a room full of eagerly awaiting reporters wearing the colors of the Florida Panthers. It was a stunning moment, but one that was quickly made humorous thanks to Marchand himself who showcased his sharp sense of humor to the media and fans in Florida the moment he opened his mouth.

"Do I have a tan yet?" asked Marchand with a smile as he reached the podium.

As you might expect everyone has been eager to get a photograph of Marchand in his new gear and as a result dozens of photos are already circulating on social media of Marchand's first ever appearance as a Panther. Here are just a few of those photos, all of which give you a pretty good look at Brad Marchand, Florida Panther.

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.
