Bruins Management Issues a Important Statement
Earlier today, the Boston Bruins announced they have named their 27th Captain in franchise history, and that man is Brad Marchand. Marchand is filling in for Patrice Bergeron, who retired over the off-season.
This is what the higher-ups had to say about it:
"The things that [captains like Ray, Zee and Bergy] have in common were, not only were they great players but they worked hard every day at practice and pushed their teammates to work hard. And Brad does that."
"Brad is well prepared to be in this position. I think he'd be the first to tell you it's a privilege to be named captain and follow the in the footsteps of somebody that he was very close with and learned from [in Patrice]."
«What I love is his competitive nature on the ice. When I got here, I didn't realize that that was an everyday occurrence...there's emotion to the way he speaks...and in games, he does drag people naturally into the fight."
This is certainly a very exciting time in Boston, as they look to fulfil their Stanley Cup aspirations.
