The Time Brad Marchand Took No Trash From a Montreal Canadiens Player After a Dirty Hit on Patrice Bergeron
Brad Marchand's unwavering loyalty to his teammates was on full display during a game earlier this season.
Known for his fierce competitiveness, Marchand was both a formidable opponent and a valued teammate, as confirmed by his high ranking in the NHLPA survey.
Marchand shares a special bond with captain Patrice Bergeron. When Canadiens' player Rem Pitlick delivered a blindsided elbow to Bergeron's face, Marchand wasted no time in coming to his captain's defense.
Without hesitation, Marchand engaged with Pitlick, shedding his gloves and landing several punches before being separated by officials.
Meanwhile, Bergeron continued to lead by example, not missing a shift and even contributing an assist to the team's second goal.
In the aftermath of the incident, Marchand was penalized with a double minor for roughing, while Pitlick received a minor for interference. This incident served as a reminder of Marchand's dedication to his team and his willingness to protect his teammates at all costs.
