Brad Marchand - New Captain of the Bruins

[Ladyfan]

Show me some video of this happening.

I can’t remember seeing him running and hiding behind refs.

Because he never did.

Meh ... makes sense for Beantown.

A guy who does dirty then hides behind refs, perfect hero for them.

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.

There’s no rebuild.

You took the cheese!

(I like brad, hes a f***ing dick pest agitator, great for the game, great intelligent player .. but lets not act like he doesnt do dirty then duck responsibility)

he backed down from Lars f***ing Eller

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.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Makes sense. Kinda funny how it takes the wind out of the Blues sails.

 

[MarchessaultCantRead]

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

 

[Rodgerwilco]

Why?

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.

 

[CanadienShark]

This will be fun. No surprise here.

Yeah, they have a crazy history of doing this in the past.

Really weird that my original comment was deleted...

I’m good with it.

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

 

[SirClintonPortis]

Can't have a more perfect face for that franchise.

 

[Voight]

1x Stanley Cup
1x World Cup Gold
1x 100 point season
5x 80+ point seasons
6x PPG seasons
5x 30 goal seasons
3x Top 10 finishes
2x First Team All Star
2x Second Team All Star
3x Stanley Cup Finals
2x WJC Gold
6x Team leader in points

He holds significant Bruins records:
- Most OT goals in history
- Most shorthanded goals in history
- Most playoff elimination goals in history

He has been a consistently high level playoff performer and, barring injuries, will finish with over 1000 points and 400 goals.

Sounds like a HHOF resume to me.

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.

 

[Voight]

Makes sense to me. Not sure how they watch McAvoy in the playoffs and think he is fit for any form of leadership. Guy is a fraud. Marchand is a good choice.

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.

Never knew he was in The Wizard of Oz.

His resume today is better than Hossa's

Marchand:

2x AS-1
2x AS-2
3,5,5,6 Top 10 points
4,6,6 Top 10 goals
5,8,10 Top 10 assists
5,5 Hart finishes
9,9,10 Selke finishes
0.91 career PPG
0.88 career playoff PPG

Hossa:

0x AS-1
1x AS-2
5,6 Top 10 points
4,5,5,6 Top 10 goals
0 Top 10 assists
10,10 Hart finishes
5,7,10 Selke finishes
0.87 career PPG
0.73 career playoff PPG

In many ways he's been the emotional leader of the Bruins for years already. Happy with the choice.

 

[kranuck]

Dude, you cheered for teams with Burrows, Lapierre and Torres on it, lol. All are known, total shitbags.

The big difference is Marchand is 10x the player of all of those geeks.

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

 

[kranuck]

Ah yes, the rebuild that has been guaranteed to start every year for the past 8 years. Top 3 d core in the league, best goalie tandem in the league, and a 60 goal scorer up front. Definitely seems like a rebuild doesn’t it?

Got any centers?

 

[Sheppy]

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 backed down from Lars f***ing Eller

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.

 

[Lilou]

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.

 

[CherryToke]

Hes gunna lick someone!

Those days are well behind him. He will have henchmen to do the licking for him now

 

[StonedZboril]

Got any centers?

Go take a look at vancouvers depth chart. It’s very depressing.

 

[jgatie]

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?"
