Brad Marchand Slams the NHL Following Recent Event
Boston Bruins star Brad Marchand appeared less than thrilled despite his team's strong 3-1 lead in the series against the Florida Panthers.
Following a resounding 6-2 victory in game four, the Bruins are headed back to Boston with a comfortable advantage.
However, in a postgame interview, Marchand took aim at the NHL for a recent hot mic incident.
During the first game against Florida, Matthew Tkachuk was allegedly overheard making derogatory comments about Tomas Nosek's wife. You can find the tweet here:
None of the parties involved have addressed the issue or confirmed what was said. Jim Montgomery mentioned that he is unaware of the details but acknowledged that such incidents were not uncommon during his playing days.
Marchand Takes a Swing at the NHL
Montgomery also highlighted that there were no microphones on the ice when he was playing, which is precisely what Marchand criticized the league for, as reported by Matt Porter:
While on-ice sound bites are some of the most captivating aspects of NHL games, there will always be players like Tkachuk who take things too far.
By now, players should be well-aware that cameras and microphones are ubiquitous, especially near the benches.
