Player Discussion Brad Marchand VI‎I

In 6-7 years ?

I’m saying combined they equal around 12M

Marner should get +/- 5% of Matthews

They are screwed

gonna be fun to watch, likely will end up in TO putting on a pre-game appreciation ceremony prior to every game to let those who are still Leafs that they are well loved

That JT tribute in TO was something that I don`t think even the Habs would have done, embarrassing and if JT wasn`t embarrassed by it, he too should be shamed

TSN and Sportsnet just won't let this story die.

Weird interpretation by Dubas but cant say I expect much different from anything coming from that bubble.

Marchand and Krug going back and forth on twitter is absolute gold.

Who would win in a fight? Marchand or Krug?

nobody can insult a short guy better than an ever-so-slightly taller short guy

Gotta give Bradley some love. 3rd straight year with at least 80 points (will most likely get 90+ this year). Top 5 scorer in the NHL over the last 4 years. He's continuing to elevate his game year after year. I know he was asked about getting his number retired around the time Bergeron had his 1000 game ceremony and he shrugged it off.... but I think he's on his way to the rafters along with Bergy... which is how it should be. Immortalized together.

So I think we can all say that when the day comes and #37 calls it a career, his number will go to the rafters. With that, is Marchand a guy that could/should be up there with him when he's done? Right now among all-time Bruins Marchand ranks:

Games - 21st
Goals - 11th
Assist - 18th
Points - 14th
SH Goals - T1st
Game Winner - 7th

^Now that's just right now. How much higher could he get over the rest of his career?

If Marchand were to be Top 10 in these major categories would it be enough? Would he need to win another cup in Boston? Do his sometimes one ice antics work against him in this situation?

 

[Tmac37]

If he gets the Conn Smythe in @DKH forecasted 2020 Cup Win he'll get his # up there.

Winning a cup isn't required to get the number in the rafters , hell a lot of numbers up there didn't win one. If Marchand can get into the top 10 in goals & points , I think he belongs up there , another cup solidifies it.

short of a career shortening injury, he should easily hit those. Really he should get into the Top 5 in both

Points:

5th is Orr at 888. Marchand is at 539, so 350 points. May be a tough task, but if he plays into his late 30s it should be doable.

Goals:

5th is Cam at 344. Marchand is at 253. This one is a no doubter

6 years left on his deal. Lets look at it in 3 years increments. Lets say he plays in 85% of the games over the next 3 years. Thats 209 games which will put him just short of 900 games which would be 6th all time (and he's got 3 years after). Let's say he plays PPG over those 209 games (been over a PPG for 3 straight) so thats 209 points and factoring in what he scores the rest of the way this year, that puts him around 760 points which would put him 8th all time (Krejci may end up moving up, so maybe 9th). Also that would be a stretch of 7 years that he was a dominant player in the NHL.

The next 3 years. Lets say he plays 75% of those games. That's 184 games putting him decently over 1000 games and probably land him at 5th all time. Let's say he goes down to a .75 PPG player over those 184. That's 138 points, so on the cusp of 900.

Stanley Cup Champion.

For me? If he does something similar to that progression over the next 6 years he is 100000% going to the rafters.

Bruins retire so many numbers that 33, 37, 63 and probably 46 should be considered by the end. And 40?

40 won’t be retired if 30 and 1 aren’t.

I think they’re averse to retiring goalies for whatever reason

 

[whitetape]

46, and 40 (if he wins a cup), yup

I’d say all 4 our locks for the rafters

Rask is boarderline just because they never retire goalies

8 of the top 15 scorers are already in the rafters

And Marchand, Krejci, Bergy still got a lot of points left in em

 

[DKH]

It saddens me this very talented and likeable team will have to wait to 2020 to win the Cup.

Brad Marchand is not so quietly become an iconic player in Boston Bruins history. I’ve been watching since late 60’s and I’ve not seen anything like this guy on Boston or in the league. I can’t even imagine what he would have been like in the wide open, bench brawl a month of the 70’s and 80’s. He may have had a 60 goal 300 PIM season.

The fact that Marchand plays with Bergeron is even more nuts. The one guy most likely to wear a hockey halo with the one an easy pick to wear horns and carry a pitchfork.

The 4 seats in back of me are owned by a ticket agency and whenever visiting fans are sitting there they are always fascinated with Marchand - hate, love, admiration, disdain, respect - you name it he generates it.

I never knew that Bucyk was a -7 over his career. I'm going to have reconsider my username. Chief Minus Seven maybe?

Here post season stats as well

Krejci and Bergeron hopefully will be #2 and #3 in playoff points after this season

Holy shit

I never realized that’s where your username came from

I don’t even know. I just never made the association between the nickname and the number. It seems so obvious now
