3. Brad Marchand hasn’t changed

You see that blood pouring down from Lars Eller’s face? That’s courtesy of an angry Brad Marchand. It appeared that Marchy didn’t appreciate Eller’s celly after he scored the 7th goal of the game.

If you thought Marchand’s game had changed over the Summer, you were sadly mistaken.

Take a look at this from Marchand.

I just love seeing this from Marchand. The Bruins were out of the game for a while. The B’s easily could have just packed it in and just looked forward to their game versus the Sabres.

Marchand had other plans and wanted to send a message. This is Marchand’s first fight since 2016. He wanted the NHL to know that you can not mess with this team. If you are going to celebrate like you just scored a go-ahead goal in a game that’s 7-0, you are going to pay for it.

So Wednesday night was a long one for Boston Bruins fans, but thankfully one game doesn’t define a season. Thursday night is a new day and hopefully, the B’s have a much better effort against Buffalo.
