Every Boston Bruins fan loves Brad Marchand and his antics that invariably get under the skin of our opposition. However, he needs to ensure he doesn’t end up looking like the petulant rookie and having his antics cause momentum swings against us.
Marchand is an elite winger and will no doubt hit 100 points again this season; he doesn’t need to be a guy known for getting in the opposition’s face or for staring them down after netting short-handed. As much as we love him for it, such actions really seem juvenile at times.
Despite having only ever played at a beer-league level, even I can vouch for trying that little bit harder when you play against someone that acts cocky like Brad Marchand.
