Brad Marchand looks horrible in his return to the ice
The Boston Bruins held Captain's practices on ice last week in Warrior Ice Arena. Brad Marchand was notable on ice, as he'd come back from an off-season spent under the knife.
The Captain had 3 off-season surgeries, which has had a noticeable effect on his game. He repaired a torn tendon in his elbow, sports hernias in his abdomen, and a surgery in his groin as well.
Expectedly he wasn't 100% when taking the ice at the Bruins practice arena, and the NHL's Mike Johnson noticed the difference last week.
Johnson, however, understands it's a factor of where Marchand is in his career.
Marchand would also admit during an interview, that the surgeries have delayed his usual training schedule to prepare for the upcoming season.
Marchand will have some time to recover before training camp picks up, and by then we hope he's ready to go when the regular season fires up.
