Compared to last year, Boston Bruins forward Brad Marchand has been a complete saint so far during this year's playoffs.�

As a matter of fact before Game 2, Marchand hadn't been called for a penalty.�

Bruins' head coach�Bruce Cassidy isn't happy about it and feels Marchand was targeted.�

"Marchy had no penalty minutes in the playoffs. None, until last night, zero," he said, per WEEI.com's Matt Kalman. "Leading scorer on our team. All of a sudden I've got NHL (news), like �keep an eye out.' I'm kind of like, �What are you talking about? Why are you going down this road on a guy that's kept his nose clean?'"

Columbus scored on the power play which made the penalty call even harder to swallow.�

"So I have a bit of a problem with the treatment of Marchy with certain officials," he said.

"And I think he's earned some of his, obviously, his reputation. But not right now. He's been clean all year, he's been clean all playoffs. So I hoped that would go away and the talk would be about �hey he hasn't scored in two games, what can we do to get him going there?' "
