The side to Brad Marchand that isn't as flashy
It sure seems like not a day goes by in the world in which someone doesn't bring up a Brad Marchand incident or why they despise him so much.
Earlier this month, the Bruins forward was once again making headlines for an altercation with Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Tristan Jarry that led to him receiving a six-game suspension in February.
But while opposing fans and players alike have tried to depict Marchand as being a rat or a pest for many years, the truth is the 33-year-old is excellent for the game.
Every time he hops onto the ice, he generates a buzz.
Often criticized for his hard-nosed style of play, Marchand has repeatedly shown that he also has a softer side to him. Whether behind the scenes or on camera, he's doing little things that make him... likeable!
Say what you will about the man, but he sure knows how to work a crowd and has shown that he cares about the fans. With such candid moments like the one below, how can you NOT like the guy?
