The children of merchant leave a sweet voicemail for the panthers forward before the match 6

At the start of the video, each child appeared and said “hello” to their father before congratulating him for having made the Stanley Cup final.

“No matter what’s going on in the game, we are still proud of you,” said Sawyer during the call. “You always have us and we have you.”

The youngest of merchant, rue, told her father that she loved him and called him the “best dad from around the world”.

“Know that we are all very proud of you here,” said Sloane in the video. “No matter how this year ends this year and how these finals meet, know that we all love you and you support and you still have a family here with open arms when you go home.”
