Brad Marchand Caught On Hot-Mic Threatening The Toronto Maple Leafs
When the Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs clashed on March 7th, tensions ran high, as usual. In the first period, Maple Leafs defenseman Jake McCabe delivered a dangerous cross-check to Bruins captain Brad Marchand, even after the play had stopped. What made it even more intense was that Marchand was mic'd up for the game, capturing the heated exchange.
The Bruins recently released the segment where defenseman Charlie McAvoy confronted McCabe, warning him about potential suspension for his actions. Meanwhile, Marchand was heard on the mic threatening McCabe, hinting at retaliation during the game.
That's a whole lotta bleeps.
The incident resulted in McCabe receiving an interference penalty for the cross-check on Jake DeBrusk, while Matthew Knies was penalized for roughing. Despite the chaos, David Pastrnak managed to score a power play goal during the Bruins' two-man advantage.
The following day, McCabe was fined $5,000 for the cross-check on Marchand. Additionally, McAvoy received a $5,000 fine from the NHL Department of Player Safety for cross-checking Tyler Bertuzzi in a separate incident.
Despite Marchand's threats, he remained focused on the game, and Boston emerged victorious with a 4-1 win. Although it marked the last game of the season between Boston and Toronto, the possibility of a postseason matchup looms, where the rivalry tends to intensify.
If such a series materializes, fans are eager to see Marchand mic'd up once again to capture the drama and intensity on the ice.
