Because he never did.
No one from Boston calls it beantown.
I have been going to most all home games in Boston for 23 years and have NEVER seen Brad hide behind a ref. Say what you want but that is false.

He knocked the living shit out of Eller the game before after he taunted the Bruins bench.
This, yeah, he’s trying to goat him into a penalty. I don’t agree with it, but don’t act like he’s the only one to do that.

It figures that Boston would pick a small, sheisty rat with anger issues as the primary representative of their franchise/city

A guy with a long history of complete goonery, literally most suspended player in NHL history, attempting to injure other guys, chirping fans on social media, amongst his other shenanigans. Just not a great look for a team captain.

Even during a housing crisis this little gem continues to live rent-free in the heads of so many. It's glorious.

Not to. mention playing for an O6/major franchise usually helps your chances too.
Regardless, Marchy has a fantastic resume and I cant see why he wouldnt make it to the HHOF.
All hes really missing is an Olympic Gold, in a perfect world he likely has 1 or 2 of those (2018 & 2022). Not his fault the NHL hates the Olympics, and also not his fault COVID happened.

McAvoy is likely the next captain after Marchand, the latter has a couple years left before retirement so they likely wanted to give him a run at the captaincy before ehe hangs em up.

In many ways he's been the emotional leader of the Bruins for years already. Happy with the choice.
Marchand is worse than all of those guys except Torres.
He’s a shithead who should have gotten the Torres treatment long ago.
What an interesting clip to make your point....Ellers gets a penalty and marchand is still on the ice...almost like he knew that he was drawing a penalty. Your hate for Marchand is clouding your judgment

Hahaha, buddy is still upset he speedbagged your top star while the entire team sat around and did nothing about it.
You add in that and him walking your team like a dog and I guess I can get your hatred for the dude.
As a leaf fan I would take his passion all day every day and so would every other team in the league.

He pounded the shit out of Eller the game before because Eller buzzed the bench in a 7-0 blowout. Eller played a stupid game and won his stupid prize. Marchand owed Eller nothing, especially not a rematch.

This has been one of the funniest years in bruins history. Finish 1st place and lose a humiliating series, lose their best players to retirement and make no big moves other than re-signing Frederic (fake tough guy and is only useful for taking penalties), and now naming marchand captain. The comedy show doesn't end. Oh I haven't checked out their new jersey reveals but I'm sure they found a way to screw that up too.
Those days are well behind him. He will have henchmen to do the licking for him now

It warms the cockles of my soul that psychiatrists in the Vancouver area are still making a fortune for asking "So, you had the Brad Marchand dream again last night?"
