Well, Boston Bruins fans, your 2018 season is over, at the hands of the Tampa Bay Lightning. And sadly, that means it’s time to rehash what went wrong, which is going to feel like throwing salt in fresh wounds. But, fear not because Brad Marchand is here for you! He will be returning to Beantown to focus on his summer gig, licking the wounds of every salty Bruins fan that watched their favorite teams season get turned into a thousand memes. Seriously Boston, he’s your rat. Little Ball of Ewww Maybe if the Little Ball of Hate had spent a little more time focusing onRead More →

Leading 3-2 midway through the third period Friday night, the Bruins looked set to tie up this series. Unfortunately, Tampa Bay rallied to win 4-3 in OT. Against the deafening boo’s at TD, they now face a 3-1 series deficit. While this series has been close, Bruce Cassidy and his merry men will need to put on their comeback hats. Boston has some sheer class on the ice, but they also went all in at the trade deadline. February 20 to 26 was a productive time, but has it all paid off? Trade Deadline Recap Rick Nash was the big name on everyone’s lips. TheRead More →

In a league where contact to the head continues, who would have thought a tongue to the face would require attention. The NHL obviously believed that Boston Bruins’ forward, Brad Marchand, would not repeat himself. HA! Wrong again! Gross!! Friday night during Game 4 of Round 2, the Bean Town pest licked Tampa Bay Lightning forward Ryan Callahan‘s,face. The sad part is that this was not a first. Marchand performed the same atrocity against Toronto forward, Leo Komarov. As usual, Marchand was drawing the opposition to commit and infraction as pests do. He may run his mouth, poke players, and contact the head but lickingRead More →

The Hart Trophy: the National Hockey League’s prize for Most Valuable Player. Unlike the Art Ross and Rocket Richard Awards, the Hart is a subjective honor voted on by the media. As the regular season closes, Boston Bruins forward, Brad Marchand, garners attention. The Bruins top the Eastern Conference with 103 points with Marchand leading the way for the club (34-50-84). After Sunday afternoon’s matchup with the Philadelphia Flyers, there should be some debate over disgusting plays he imposes on others. Foul Play Despite his significance to the Bruins success, Brad Marchand continues to be the center of negative attention. During yesterday’s game, the 29Read More →

Brad Marchand’s Ban Should Include The All-Star Game

The Boston Bruins winger and professional agitator Brad Marchand has been banned for five games following his elbow to the face of New Jersey’s Marcus Johansson. Seems the age-old defense of ‘I didn’t want him to hit me so I hit him first’ doesn’t get the charges dropped. Here’s the NHL’s Department of Inconsistent Decisions’ ruling. Now the length of the ban isn’t what’s annoyed me here (for once), it’s that the ban doesn’t include the All-Star Game this weekend, the NHL’s annual fundraiser/distraction. This feels like further reinforcement that the NHL has lost touch and is pandering to the dollar before its own integrity.Read More →
