The NHL punishes Brad Marchand
The NHL fandom has a love-and-hate relationship with Brad Marchand and understandably so, he's a versatile forward with skill. He's an active social media user, polarizing in his comments on multiple media and league figures recently.
Now Marchand has seen the folly of his ways, once again and news of discipline has been received.
Marchand has been fined $5,000 dollars, the league maximum for infractions allowed under the CBA(everyone's favorite phrase).
Marchand's tripping of Oliver Bjorkstrand is just more of the typical rat-style antics we expect from the Boston veteran.
The trip happened as there was a scrum between the two in front of the Bruins net and afterward, you can see Marchand trip Bjorkstrand, typically not scrappy but has been known to stand up for himself.
For Marchand, this is becoming a trend as this is the 6th fine he's accumulated in his career.
