ANGRY Brad Marchand calls out the NHL after today's game
The Boston Bruins traveled to Florida for game 4 of their best of 7 series against the Panthers. In a highly anticipated matchup, the Bruins dominated the game with a convincing 6-2 victory, giving them a comfortable 3-1 lead in the series. However, the game was not without drama.
In the third period, tensions boiled over as Matthew Tkachuk of the Panthers attempted to start a fight with Bruins goaltender Linus Ullmark. The altercation quickly escalated into a full-blown line brawl, with players from both teams getting involved.
Despite their victory, the Bruins were not in high spirits after the game. The unsportsmanlike conduct displayed by the Panthers team left a bad taste in their mouths. Bruins star player Brad Marchand was especially vocal about his displeasure.
During the post-game press conference, a reporter asked Marchand about a rumored comment made by Tkachuk in the previous game regarding a player's wife.
Having been a hockey fan all my life I do get trash talk. I get the point is mind-games & it's supposedly �meaningless'.
But I'd like the BROADCAST to consider their message to little girls at home hearing Tkachuk say «Your whore hit you like that?»

Brad Marchand did not like Tkachuk's comment, calling it disrespectful, but he was just as upset with the NHL's hot mic:
Marchand, asked about Tkachuk's previous comments crossing the line, spins it the other way: "I think the NHL and the media outlets have crossed the line to allow those mics ..."
Called it "very disrespectful" to the NHL-NHLPA agreement ...
Wouldn't say if Tkachuk crossed it.� Matt Porter (@mattyports) April 23, 2023
