Ekblad had 18 points in 51 regular-season games in 2023-24.
Wearing a street cone on his head, Ekblad uttered the words, “F–k you, Brooks Koepka,” followed by a high-pitched “Woo!” and a rambunctious response from the Panthers fans in attendance.Out of context, it’s an absolutely insane quote that would make you wonder just how long the 28-year-old had been partying since the team won their first Stanley Cup championship in franchise history.
At a Panthers’ home game against the New York Rangers in March 2023, the five-time major champion was seen hurling insults at Ekblad, apparently after the 2014 No. 1 overall pick was on the ice for a goal against.a week later that, while he didn’t bring the cone to the rink, he was more than happy to use it as a prop.
“ gave up a bad goal. It was a bad pass in the third,” Koepka told him. “I’m a die-hard fan, and he gave up a bad goal.”However, a month after the traffic cone incident, Ekblad said Koepka reached out to him via text message to say sorry.
