You missed the 2011 Stanley Cup, yes I know that tilts you that Brad Marchand has won the grand prize in hockey.

Edit: just noticed your whole account is based on posting smack about the bruins, I noticed part of article lists things that "couldn't be said" during their 2011 post-cup partying. I guess we know who's gf falls into that ;)
If he wrote about tim thomas i wouldve mentioned 2011 as he was the primary and secondary reasons they won.

I honestly don't really get where you're going with this at all. You're hand picking some instances where the team didn't play the best hockey and just slamming it on him. It's dumb.

Guy's got a cup and was lights out the entire run. You conveniently left that out of your little tantrum.
His attempt at chestthumping on his and his teammates behalf just looks dumb against their actual track records.

I love the way he plays. Wish he was drafted a flame. This guy is some Theo Fleury jr as someone earlier said. Insane skill and toughness for that size.

I've met him a few times over summers when he would come back home, he always came across as a pretty nice guy to the fans and in the bars. He has a different way of thinking but I don't think he's a bad cat.

probably took him a while to type that out using his nose
Maybe nose is the secret

Marchand & Matthews get kidded about theirs

and Crosby's is out of joint

I tell my kids all the time be thankful our family was blessed with perfect features and don't make fun of others who don't but worse can't afford corrective or plastic surgery

Be humble

Let me guess, you were the kid he pushed onto the road and laughed at while taking his truck back 26 years ago.

Always good to hold a grudge.

Let me guess, you're Brad's cousin.

Always good to be a baby because someone doesn't like your POS family member.

Nah but a diehard bruins fan would have one
You post in almost all the Bruins related threads and go off. It’s hilariously sad...

Just looking for any reason to hate on the Bruins without giving any sort of credit. You have an agenda, man. It’s clear as day.

Good read. I've always liked Marchand outside the ice. Seems like a pretty funny, self-conscious guy. Great player too. Still very much dislike the stuff he pulls.

Good read. This guy is a generational villain. That chip on his shoulder was so big he had to hang it off the middle of his face.

Wish Gaudreau had a bit more of his mindset.

Good read.

Hate Marchand with a passion. But anyone would love him on their team
I'm a 35 year Bruins season ticket holder and the only thing separating love and off-the-charts hate is him wearing a Bruins or Montreal jersey

The only fallacy in this write-up is the part about "if you say anything bad about my brother, or about Patrice Bergeron, I’ll fight you". Sorry, Brad, we all know that isn't true.

It should read more like: "if you say anything bad about my brother, or about Patrice Bergeron, I’ll low bridge you, take out your knees or spear you in the nuts."

That little rat isn't fighting anyone who's tougher than his own grandmother. He's a little b**** but a great hockey player.

Great piece. People exaggerate when they write about their past. The part about him and his relatives moving off the street because the other neighbors wanted them gone - I wonder if it's true or more likely when you have 8 rambunctious boys on a street and you're getting dirty looks from some of the neighbors you just decide it would be better for the kids to have more space to do their thing.

I love Marchand. Anyone who says they hate him would love to have him on his team. Let's be real. The part of I loved most about the article was when he said 'if you have anything bad to say about my brother or Patrice Bergeron, I will fight you.'

That says it all to me.

Brad might not be known for his fighting (and rightfully so at 5'9" - 180lbs) but he displayed a pretty good punch to Landeskog's face in post#33 of this thread.
