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.
Marchand has been fined $5,000 dollars, the league maximum for infractions allowed under the CBA(everyone's favorite phrase).
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.
