2. Brad Marchand finally gets his shot

This will be the first Winter Classic that Brad Marchand plays in and he is excited to play in the game. So much so he is nervous that media members will jinx him by asking him questions about the game.

Marchand has had a pretty good season for the Bruins. It is hard to perform at the level he did last season, but he has almost seemed to reinvent his game.

So far this season Marchand has 12 goals and 29 assists. These are some great numbers, but he is currently overshadowed by David Pastrnak who is tearing things up.

Marchand seems to be sharing the puck much more this season. I honestly don’t care how he is involved in goals as long as the Boston Bruins are scoring, I’ll be happy.

Hopefully, Marchand has a great debut in the Winter Classic and leads the Boston Bruins to a much-needed victory.
