Player Discussion Brad Marchand IV - CONFIRMED signed 8 years @ 6.125/yr

[BruinLVGA]

A guy who talks like this will always talk like this. It's just a part of his game and combined with his skill, makes him the best pest in the game.

Awesome stuff!

For anyone that wants to watch it again and again...and again....

 

[Bread and Circuses]

Term too long....

Amirite?

 

[DKH]

This was one of the best game performances I've ever seen

If he ever plays a better game I can't wait to see it

 

[Si Hopkins]

40 goals this year. Lets good Marchy.

Amirite?

Can they just give him a black check, key to the city and tell him to stay as long as he wants?

 

[kytem2]

He should have had 4 goals, got to bury those. Anyway, he is unreal.

 

[NinthSpoke06]

Can we pay him more?

 

[BNHL]

This was one of the best game performances I've ever seen

Hopefully he pulls a Brent Sutter after the 80 or so Canada Cup and lights the league on fire.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Filthy performance.

 

[trenton1]

Outstanding.

Simply gross. One of my favorite things about this play is Pasta winning a puck battle at the blue line. He closes on the defender and knocks it away to Carlo who then feeds Marchand. Pasta should have got an assist on that play. Created a turnover and then Marchand got naughty. Love it.

 

[BruinsFTW]

40 goals this year. Lets good Marchy.

This...

I think he easily can pot 40 this year....from his WC performance he has just kept going...

He looks to be more than ready to rip it up....outstanding game tonight...So glad we signed him to a great deal as well...

I don't like Pasta on that line but maybe that will change...

I think Backes is gonna surprise some people as well.

 

[ashnathan]

Amazing. He is ridiculous. He only did one thing wrong that entire game and that was shoot instead of give Pasta the one timer in the 3rd period, that was going in for sure.

 

[Oates2Neely]

Better than Seguin

 

[Ladyfan]

Anyone who thinks Brad isn't worth that new contract isn't paying attention.

How lucky we are to have him on the B's. He is a blast to watch.

 

[Mount Kramer Cameras]

Self-belief is a wonderful thing

I remember when I was one of the few Marchand supporters, and shortsighted posters wanted him gone after his 20 game debut, and then gone after that because of his "punk" behavior.

Happy that B's management didn't feel the same way.

I remember his first game game with the B's...I thought meh...just another 4th line player. It didn't take long to see what a spark Brad is. He has always been fun to watch but he is at an unreal level now.

I am so proud of him.

I sat infront of Ladyfan front row next to bench a few games last month in 2009-2010 season.

Marchand was a rookie and I remember him getting a questionable penalty and looking at Claude who had that 'pissed father look I knew so well'

Brad looked overwhelmed that day and his 20 G 0 G 1 A -3 20 PIM stat belies

We felt bad because we had seen him in Providence and my kid did all those Dave & Buster, Skate with the Bruins stuff and Marchand always had a smile for the kids and seemed like a character

I was hoping he could make it as a bottom 6 energy guy who can agitate and get you 10 goals

It was a bummer coming here on HF and seeing him ripped to **** post after post as garbage

I know you liked him Joe but like me we had agendas a bit with him but you did tell me he's good and they'd be foolish to give up so fast- I actually lost a bet with my kid who told me if Marchand gets 20 goals I take her to D & B I even modified it to 'career' and she took year

Very happy to lose that bet

He's a star legit star and one of the most unique players I've ever seen - no one really ever like him. I think maybe Linseman is good based on size skating and agitating but the Rat was pass first

Maybe a hybrid Linseman & Johnny Mckenzie

Don't forget him only putting up 2 points in the series against the Caps!

 

[JCRO]

Still drooling over that goal last night

 

[ReggieMoto]

Term too long....

Amirite?

Almost. Term too long and his big season was in a contract year. He's gonna suck bad now.

I hope that now that Brad has signed that BIG contract he doesn't coast.

 

[bruinmann77]

Glad he staying in Blk/Gold what an great performance last night took over that game
