Brad Marchand’s unprovoked punch has people talking
Brad Marchand is known for his controversial on-ice actions, and he ignited scorn again in Game 3 against the Blue Jackets.There was one minute left in the Bruins’ Game 3 loss to the Blue Jackets. Columbus goalie Sergei Bobrovsky had just temporarily staved off the Bruins’ attack, freezing the puck for a faceoff.
While the on-ice officials separated players from both teams still locked up after the whistle, Brad Marchand glided behind Columbus defenseman Scott Harrington, who was kneeling on the ice. Marchand punched Harrington in the back of the head and skated away.
