Brad Marchand caught on hot-mic blasting the Toronto Maple Leafs
During the recent Leafs-Bruins game, cameras caught Brad Marchand stirring up trouble with the Leafs bench as the clock ticked down to a Bruins victory.
The rivalry between the two teams is hotter than ever, especially in this first-round series. The Bruins secured a 4-2 win in game 3, putting them ahead 2-1 in the series, with Marchand right in the thick of the action, doing what he does best: getting under the Leafs' skin.
Marchand couldn't resist tossing out a taunt as he skated past the Leafs bench after the Bruins scored an empty-netter. He was caught on camera saying, 'It's over in 5.' There's some debate about what he actually said, with some hearing "Still 35" in reference to the time left.
Even after the game, the Leafs players were discussing Marchand's antics. Rookie Matthew Knies summed it up well.
Despite Marchand's efforts, the Leafs need to tighten up, especially on their powerplays. If they can do that, the drama surrounding Marchand won't matter as much, and they'll have a better chance at winning.
Who do you think will win the series?
