Matthew Knies disrespects Brad Marchand in recent statement
In an exciting twist, the Boston Bruins pulled ahead in their series against the Toronto Maple Leafs, after beating them in game three on Wednesday. Captain Brad Marchand scored two important goals in the final period, showing his skill as a top player.
Marchand isn't just known for scoring goals; he's also famous for bothering opponents on the ice, which can throw them off their game. Leafs player Matthew Knies warned his team to stay calm and not get caught up in Marchand's tricks during the game.
"He wants to get under our skin and influence the refs, so I think we've just got to be composed and not kind of get into that bullshit. Just play hard and make him (less) effective," Knies said.
For Marchand, playing in the playoffs is a big deal. He's grateful for the chance to live his childhood dream of playing in the NHL, and he wants to make the most of it.
«Just excited, you know?» Marchand said, via NHL.com. «It's not a given that you get the opportunity to play in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Just kind of woke up with that gratitude of being excited, understanding that it's a gift to play in this league. «Playoffs is something that we dream about as kids."
"I talk to my kids about it and their dream is to play at this level," he continued. "To realize that we're living it? I just woke up with that gratitude that we're lucky to be here. You want to make the most of this opportunity.»
Now, all eyes are on Game 4, where the Bruins and Marchand have a chance to extend their lead in the series. The game will be another exciting showdown at Scotiabank Arena, with both teams eager to come out on top.
