Boston Bruins issue official press release on Brad Marchand and its huge
The Boston Bruins have good news, finally as the Captain of the Bruins is heating up. In 13 games this season, Marchand has 10 points( 3 G, 7 A) with the Bruins and is residing on the top line with Elias Lindholm, and David Pastrnak.
This is welcome news for Bruins fans, who have seen the Bruins deliver anemic performances, compared to the last two years of play.
Not only that, but Marchand is stepping into the history books for the Bruins, as he recently passed formerBruins winger Rick Middleton, who is now 5th on the all-time goals leader list.
Marchand has surpassed him at number 4, with 404 goals all-time just before former Bruins Captain, and teammate Patrice Bergeron.
At the time of his retirement following the 1987-88 season, Middleton ranked third on the Boston Bruins' all-time regular-season scoring list (trailing only Johnny Bucyk and Phil Esposito) with 402 goals and 496 assists for 898 points--10 more than Bobby Orr accumulated. As of the end of the 2020-21 season, Middleton was in fifth spot, having been overtaken on the list by both Raymond Bourque and Patrice Bergeron.
Brad Marchand has taken this record into the start of the week with a maintenance day. It was reported today that he took practice off.
The forward has put together 4 productive games in the last which saw him post 5 points.
Brad Marchand headlined the formerly struggling group with a banner multi-point performance that included creating Brazeau's goal with a strong take behind the Philly net before feeding his big winger, and then an empty netter in the closing minutes that iced the game for the Black and Gold.
Honestly, Brad, you deserve it.
The Captain will need to set an example, a standard for all Bruins players to look to. Including David Pastrnak as well, if the team is to be the wreckling ball they were from 2019-2023.
Can Marchand dethrone Bergergon by the end of the season?
