Every team in the NHL hates Brad Marchand. He's the players other fan bases wish was on their team, but hate him because he isn't. Marchand has always embraced the role of being a rat, a shit disturber and the guy who always pushed the envelop, but there have been 13 occasions where he's crossed the line.
At this point in his career Marchand has been suspended 8 times and fined 5 times as well. Marchand's career loses are now over $1,500,000 due to supplemental discipline.
Here is Marchand's full suspension history:
