Brad Marchand on the Bruins' dominance, trolling Detroit and his favorite Ninja Turtle

As Boston's record-breaking run continues, the Bruins' feisty star checks in on a great many topics.

When I was a kid, I watched Secret of the Ooze every single day. I thought it was a cinematic masterpiece.

However, in hindsight, the original film is far superior.

Favorite turtle used to be Donatello, but now I feel like Raphael is a more complex and relatable character.

Donatello was always my favorite. I will always love those live action movies.

I'm also a Super Mario Bros movie fan which I know is controversial. I wonder what Brad thinks lmaooo

Same, Donatello was intelligent and could fight. I still call dibs when I play the arcade game with my kids or friends

The other day, a customer brought in ( i own a comic book store ) a 1st print of TMNT #1 from 1984 and wanted to know how much for it. His jaw dropped when I showed him the prices of what it's currently going for at a high grade. He'll send it away for grading and then to an auction house, where he'll get to turn that in for a real house once it sells.

Cool to see Brad is a fan! Great interview.

Marek & Wyshynski parsed this interview today on their podcast/radio show.

I always used Donatello in the arcade game because he had the staff which gave him the most range, and he's still my guy.

I wasn’t expecting that “The Patriot” would be his favorite movie. Not a bad one.

He’s a fan of the Turtles, huh? I still have some of the black and white comics from the ‘80s before they became a global phenomenon.

The creators are originally from Massachusetts, I believe.

Raphael was my favorite.

Using $20,000 of COVID relief money to do it. Money well spent.

Actually watched Super Mario Bros movie a month or two ago. I had a blast re-watching it. Felt like a weird Tim Burton Batman movie, but obviously not as good.

Bruins’ Brad Marchand on recovery from hip surgery: ‘I thought I'd feel better now than I do’

Brad Marchand might be playing at a point-per-game pace, but he still feels like he has more to give since returning from hip surgery.

Peter Laird was born in Massachusetts.

Kevin Eastman was born in Maine.

At the time of Turtles creation, they were living between Dover, NH where Laird was and Northampton, MA where Eastman was living.

So the three states kind of like to take part ownership of the Turtles and since it's from this area of the world, you'll see a lot of Turtles related stuff pop up in old collections, which is kind of cool. There was a gentlemen who owned a comic shop here in Brunswick, Maine in the 80's/90's who got the original printer's proof copy of TMNT #1 from a print shop employee in Biddeford, who traded it at the time for just store credit. Stan ( the owner of the shop ) recently sold it during the pandemic for a nice chunk of cash.

Wasn't expecting him to pick Leo. Doesn't fit the Marchand we know.

I really don't get what is being said here. In March of last year, he was going to need hip surgery, but he is being quoted as saying he thought he would be where he was last year at this point. Is there someone being misquoted? That sounds like he is feeling worse than last year.

Main board basically calling him racist because of his all star game comments

YOU KNOW THE BRUINS ARE A THREAT WHEN MARCHAND DERANGEMENT SYNDROME TAKES OVER THE MAIN BOARD EVERY WEEK!!

I rarely post on the main board because it's legitimately filled with insane people.

There could be an article about Brad saving a bunch of puppies in a fire and it would be 300 comments about him being trash.

It’s funny because it’s true.

Here are a few screen shots of it. He's gotten more since this was taken (last year).
