Yes, I get who he is, I just didn't realize anyone actually watched his show...

NHL Player Brad Marchand Stops Licking Opponents, On League's Orders
Embarrassing stuff really. Bruins now synonymous with employing a guy that goes around licking players. We didn't need this circus act.
"Cassidy said before the game that he had spoken with Marchand, delivering a simple, straight-forward message: "We need you on the ice, we need you playing. If part of his M.O. is to annoy people, find a different way to annoy them. Preferably by scoring some goals, that would be the best way."
this is getting more airtime than guys suffering from CTE and commiting suicide, what a world
I still love Marchand ,but wouldn’t mind seeing him grow up a little bit.Some so-called Bruins fans phoned into our local radio station yesterday saying "they will not cheer for the Bruins anymore until Marchand is traded". I say they were never really Bruins fans to begin with, and adios amigos.
That being said, can't wait until the BOS-MTL rivalry is a thing again!

So many times I find myself disappointed in Marchand—dirty hits and stupid, juvenile antics.
The sad part is he is such a good hockey player. Just play hockey and cut the crap.
Umm, Johansson played in the playoffs. It was a bad hit, but he is known for trips, slewfoots, cupchecks and hipchecks, not headshots. Wilson goes for the headshot every single hit. Headshot >>>>>>>>>>>> slewfoot.Agreed. I’ve gotten tired of his act as well. I tolerate it because of his production and his value to this team, but I gotta admit, it’s getting tougher and tougher for me to justify his bull****.
The licking thing is an embarrassment and crosses a line for me. To me, it’s the same as spitting in someone’s face.
It also bothers me that a lot of posters who complain about Tom Wilson are the same ones sticking up for Marchand, who basically ended Marcus Johansson’s season back in January.
LOL, whatever man....I’m not going down that rabbit hole.Umm, Johansson played in the playoffs. It was a bad hit, but he is known for trips, slewfoots, cupchecks and hipchecks, not headshots. Wilson goes for the headshot every single hit. Headshot >>>>>>>>>>>> slewfoot.

A contrite Brad Marchand regrets his antics in the playoffs - The Boston Globe
“I had no idea it was going to get this big, and that was not my intention,” said Marchand, who was informed by the NHL office following Game 4 of the Tampa Bay series that another of his “kissing” displays would be subject to supplemental discipline. “So . . . I didn’t really pay attention to it a ton at the time. I never thought for a second it was going to get that big.”
Later he added, “I think the biggest thing for me now is to really take a pretty hard look in the mirror and, you know, realize the actions, some of the things that I’m doing have much bigger consequences than I may ever think or really believe would come out of it.
“I’m really a pretty easygoing guy, and there’s not a whole lot that fazes me at all. The last thing I ever want to do is bring the embarrassment on my teammates and organization that I did.”
I hope they don't, 30 teams would get in line to have Marchand on their team.Felger and Mazz on the Marchand shtick now. Waiting for a “is it time to trade Marchand” take.
I'm not at all trying to defend his antics, though I thought the licking thing was funny. But if the officials allowed this stuff to factor into how they called the games, then they have no business officiating at that level.I wonder who spoke to him (finally)
My guess is Neely
Cassidy handled this situation too lightly if you think about it (even joked about it "mentos"). He should have told him to cut it out after the 1st time (Komorov)
Marchand antics basically cost Bruins ability to get penalty calls
