Four-time major winner Brooks Koepka, is well-known for his passion for sports and, in particular, his respect for those who play in the National Hockey League. He’s been observed at a number of games, and he’s been seen sporting shirts from his favorite teams.
After the Florida Panthers’ unexpected upset of the Boston Bruins in Game 7 of the NHL playoffs, LIV golfer Brooks Koepka, was caught on camera going into a panic mid-flight. Koepka’s wife, actress Jena Sims, filmed the incident, and it rapidly became a social media sensation.

Jena Sims captures the moment Brooks Koepka lost it!
Koepka’s wife Jena Sims, posted the funny (and realistic) incident on her Instagram story on Sunday night. The stories showed Koepka smashing the volume button all the way up to eleven. It also showed him cursing the safety guidelines all the way to hell and back.
Sims captioned the story: “he stresses when they keep doing announcements.” In yet another story, she wrote, “I told him nothing is going to happen first ten mins of the game. Have a bet going already.”
The Florida Panthers were able to pull off the seemingly impossible on Sunday night. The Panthers had squeezed into the Stanley Cup Playoffs by winning six of their last eight regular-season games last month. In Game 7 of their first-round series against the record-breaking Boston Bruins, the Panthers scored with less than a minute remaining in regulation to send the game to overtime.
They eventually notched the winner to send the bears to the beach much sooner than anyone anticipated they would. The game took place in front of a sold-out crowd at TD Bank North Garden.
