That clip of him looking at the menu pre-game is hilarious.

This shot was insane

Marchands evolution is insane. He broke into the league as a 4th line pest. He looked like the new Sean Avery/jarko ruutu/etc.. Now, he’s a bonafide star. 2 goals shy of becoming the all time leader in goals scored during the playoffs for one of the most storied franchises in the league. He might be a dirty rat, but for those of us that anre old enough to have witnessed his entire career, he’s very inspirational.

Marchand is a bit underrated as a player. He`s a beast. That shot is deadly. And the way he worked for the empty net goal is insane. Also how he gets under guys skin. That performance today was just clutch from Marchand.

Watched almost every leafs game this year and want them to win but when Marchand scored the go ahead goal I turned to my friend with a smile on my face and said “Legend”

gotta say, that marchand bertuzzi tussle before the goal (the first one lol) is on Bert, from game 1 he has been trying to get under Marchands skin. Endless slashes, holds, interferences and Marchand has just come out on top everytime. Today just showed it so clearly, two times Bert tried directly challenging him that ended shortly in goals for the Bruins. He is getting schooled. Gotta give credit where it's due and Marchand is one of hockey's GOAT's. He tied an organisational playoff record today with Neely and knocked him off the perch with another.

As a bruins fan, it’s Extremely refreshing hearing someone else (especially a leafs fan) be able to appreciate Marchands game. Thank you

He looked at the Entrees and then had the Leafs for the main course & dessert.

You are spot on, he has honed his crafts both as a rat and a skilled player. He hangs with Sid in the summers working out and doing Hockey camps for kids in Nova Scotia. Genuinely a good guy off the ice!

When Brad retires, Matt Tkachuk can officially be crowned King Rat. Until then, Tyler Bertuzzi and Max Domi can keep trying.

In game 3 tonight, Brad Marchand tied Cam Neely for the most playoff goals (55) in the history of the Boston Bruins. He has more playoff goals than Patrice Bergeron, Phil Esposito, and Rick Middleton. In my opinion, game 3 tonight was Marchand's greatest playoff performance since game 7 in the 2011 Stanley Cup finals vs Vancouver.

Marchy had a big game when we needed him, but Swayman is absolutely the hero that needs as much if not more of the credit. Dude made some unreal saves this game

He wears that C for a reason when the team needs he’s always there absolute champion and his veins are filled with passion

The thing leaf fans dont understand is the more they boo they more Marchy ups his game. He lives for this.

one of the only hockey media personalities who'll praise marchand like this, love u johnny. most unbiased takes in the media

Is it Vegas? It's probably Vegas.

Marchand lives rent free in leafs fans head for sure.

Your pause at 0:35 is remarquable. We can all see Marchand machiavelic's mind through his eye and the effort he puts in not bursting into laughs. He knows for sure what he's doing.

Bertuzzi dove... explain to me how his right leg ended up in the air above his head, when Marchand's stick tripped his left leg. oh, and he almost lands on his head. Blatant dive! But great distraction from the fact that AM again had an ok game (as opposed to a $15 Million dollar player game)

Bruins Fan. Everyone out side of the Bruins fandom dumps on Marchand. Calling him Dirty, Rat whatever. Unfortunately for non Bs fans Marchand has been a great player since his rookie season. One of my favorite. So much fun to watch him over the years. Every team wants a Marchand. Last night was a prime example, he put on a clinic. Loved it. And this is why I Love the Bruins and Leafs get to play 1st round. 2 original 6. So much fun. Great games so far. Win or lose it’s all good. But lets Go Bruins.

Laff fans can’t complain about the refs when they went 0/5 on the PP Edit: Oh boy, I’ve triggered the homers

The leafs are great. Marchy saw crap plays happening and it puts logs on his own fire (as you put it) . It was such a great game. Both teams are wicked talented and this is an amazing series .

Lifetime B's fan here... Marchand is ABSOLUTELY the guy you LOVE on your team, BUT HATE to play against. I would absolutely hate him if he played for any other team. But I love the guy cause he does it for us. I like that Bertuzzi kid a lot more than I used to, from playing with the B's for a half a season. It just be like that. Cheers.

Marchand has willed his way into the elite class of hockey. Never projected to be more than a grinder yet look at the record book.

As much as I'd hate on Marchand if he was doing this to the Oilers, you cannot help but marvel at what he's doing as a hockey fan. It's even better cause he's doing it to the Leafs.

Marchand is the Pete Rose of hockey. He gives you 100% all the time.

I’ve been watching hockey for over 50 years and that was some of the best goaltending I’ve ever seen, with the great speed and skill Toronto has they set themselves up for some great scoring opportunities but Swayman was a wall

I wanna see nate sid and Brad on a line at the Olympics so bad

Marchand has more balls than the entire leefs roster

He knows exactly what he is doing. Every news outlet was talking about how the coach was saying he was world class like it was a good thing. That is now how he meant it at all, such a back handed compliment.

When everyone else hates you You’re doing something right 😂

I think its great Marchy ate Bert's lunch on both of the last 2 goals. Bert is barely involved in the game other than gluing himself to Marshy and trying to bait him into a scrum.

we gotta know the most hated team... Im just glad it isn't boston!

what i like about Marchand, he never stops grinding, he goes to spots where it hurts and wins a lot of battles. He is like this speedy Gonzales cartoon but with sharp teeth and huge claws. Bertuzzi wanted to compete with him, but compared to him he is like a first-year apprentice in Gordon Ramsey's kitchen

Love #63. Plays old school every shift. Toughest guy in the corners, and that shot is money. Go back and watch him beat Vancouver in the finals in 2011. Best guy on the team!

As a huge Bruins fan, it is so nice to finally see positive comments about Marchand. He has been true to his game, his skill s are amazing and his mental game is what makes me love him. Thank you for this video. Marchand deserves more props like this.

The Bruins are just pound-for-pound a better team. They are an example of how a solid core, when managed well, can sustain success for many years. Just look at the Penguins. The Leafs over the post Babcock era have always had that solid core to work with but have not put the right pieces together.

That is 100% the way I feel. He played a perfect Marchand game. He has got some mad skills. I wish he played for Toronto.

I just subscribed to your channel for a couple of reasons. On point, objective, honest and quick to name a few. I was wondering what your thoughts on Bertuzzi being back in beantown next year? They never should have let him go to begin with.

I used to be a leafs fan and hated 63 with a passion. Now I have him in a pool.so I could cheer for him. Love what he's doing to the leafs

I love Marchand. I had him on my team first year of fantasy hockey. He really can play the game very well and loves stirring up emotion. I also love that people dislike him so much haha. Hoping Bruins win the series and send the leafs to golf season early

Marchand is worth as much as the " core 4" combined. He owns that bunch

I remember when he first started and he was just basically a rat. It is something to see how he has developed into a scoring threat and now a leader. He really has an all around game.

Marchand and Tkachuk are two of my favorite players they just bring it no matter what

I would love a team with Marchand, Corey Perry, both Tkachuks, Lucic, Reeves and Maroon...Basically recreate the Bruins of 1978-79~

I don't love him but I sure do respect his style of play. He came to play last night. Awesome performance.

Brad merchand is one of the main reasons the leafs have a hard time making the playoffs every year he is underated and should be recognized for his accomplishments hes also one of the biggest reasons boston does have a stanely cup

Love Marchand, definition of clutch, do whatever it takes to win, hockey player.

63 is a BEAST, what a beauty. Oh captain my captain.

Bertuzzi committed a penalty that lead to a Bruins tying goal. Then he tried to get into a battle with Marchand, lost, then Frederic scores. Couldn't block a Marchand shot for the GWG. And then got owned on the empty net goal.

As a bruins fan, this was a great video, and I wish your channel the best of luck. Go B's🐻

He’s a legend honestly. Hellllluva player. I’d want him on my team absolutely

Straight up Brad drove Bart to practice every day when Bart was here. Love hockey

As a “short” athlete of 5’10… we learn to play different. Because we know we aren’t the biggest. Even if we are one of the best doing it, 5’10 under 200 vs 6’3 200+ of EQUAL skill? We gotta be crafty. In that matchup size does matter.

Two goals last night because, Bertuzzi was tied up and burned by 63. As B’s fan, I can’t stand his antics, but can’t deny his talent either. 0-5 on the PP for Toronto, so I don’t think as a leaves fan you can complain about the Refs. Lots of calls that weren’t made by the refs on both sides. It was a great game for the black and gold last night.

Idgaf I love Brad, I also love how much everyone else hates him. It truly is an art and watching him all these years, you just have to give it to him. We blow the next game though, we're about to get smoked. Mathews about to get 6 on us.

Subscribed. May the algorithm be with you.

Really like your coverage of the NHL because it's balanced and fair. Never been a fan of Marchand but have to completely agree with you here. I still don't can't for him, but definitely have to give him props.

Respect man from a Bruins fan.

Brad Marchand plays like Ted Lindsay, you hate him, but you can't deny his talent. I would love to have him on Toronto.

Nathan MacKinnon said in an interview that Brad Marchand is Sidney Crosby's favorite person to play with. He also said that when Sid and Nate have pick up games that Sid will not allow Nate to play with Marchy 🐀🐁

He was a beast in this game & took control, made the Leafs look like fools

8 points in 4 games. Also, 8th all time in shorties. Wild stuff.

Marchand is the MAN!!!!!

I always say, everyone who hates Marchand wishes he was on their team. The man is the heart and the soul of this Bruins team now that Bergy is gone

As a Bruins fan, I think we all understand why everyone hates Marchy. He's the NHL's Shoresy, so we get it. Glad to see some respect on his name, though (for a change).

I'm a Leafs fan and I love Marchand. Wish he played for us.

Marchand has made his whole career out of being a rat, and playing the mind games with other teams. I think his & Bertuzzi's "beef" is more of that, not that he's got anything in particular against the kid. Some guys focus on the stick and puck. Marchand focuses on the mentality of the other team, collectively. He's really good at getting under your skin, and tiptoeing that line between "psychological warfare" and "unsportsmanlike conduct". And I mean REALLY good. Personally, I would love to buy him a beer just to thank him for showing that there's still a place in the NHL for folks that are still technically brilliant, but not on the level of Berdard or McJesus. That there's still a spot for the mental game.

I wonder if the menu had Leaf Salad on it.

Love them Nova Scotia boys 🤟. Leafs are done in the first round again 😂😂😂, maybe next year fellas.

Thanks for the good bruins content 😊

We LOVE him in Boston!!

What can I say. Boston picking him as captain was a class act decision...

Bertuzzi and Domi are playing the same game as March. Is Brad coming out on the bottom in those scuffles? Did you see the sniper shot? Good luck with that.

JOHNNY WHAT IS THAT ONE TEAM??? The people need to know

The best thing you can do is ignore his antics. The Leafs played right into his hands in that game. And once he’s got you there, he’ll burn you on the scoresheet too obviously. Just don’t give him the juice. I can’t believe they still haven’t learned lol

I'm a Bruins fan and I loved Marchand last night

I will never not be entertained by the love child of Patrice Bergeron and Master Splinter

Ive been watching the Bruins since Orr and my opinion is Marchand might be the second best Bruin in history.at least since 66.

I thought you were a lop-sided leafs ball washer, but you gave credit where credit is due.

Bruins wouldn't be the same without good ol Marchy ❤

Bs and Nose Face Killah fan here..but I have to say. this Toronto team is different. they are definitely a lot harder to play against than years past. props where props are due. bring back the "Phanuef turn-over machine years" so I don't have a coronary every game

I love how up until that slash he really hasn’t done anything and the leafs media and fans are loosing this shit over him. He doesn’t need to do anything and he’s rent free in their heads.

OK....Great analysis....I am not a Leafs fan. I am a Bruins fan, but I subbed due to great content. Keep the channel going.

The most vintage marchand game you could ever ask for. If you're a fan of hockey this was insanely entertaining

I'm a Bruins fan. Marchand always does it in playoffs

0:49 i mean, thats a pretty insane cover story haha cmon Toronto.. no wonder no one wants to play there lmao

Brad has mellowed a bit with age. I mean his antics but not his play. He seems to be looking for the pass more than the shot. Being on the line with Bergeron so many years has helped his team play.

As a Leaf fan Marchand is my favorite modern player.

Leafs shot themselves in the foot not scoring on their power plays, but then the refs stopped calling infractions against the bruins because of the penalty disparity (game management) which they shouldn’t because mcavoy was then allowed to tackle Matthews and after that the Marchand Bertuzzi nonsense which should have been blown dead at the least with a penalty for both, but they were still not calling penalties because the bruins had been called three times in a row I think, this non whistle led directly to a goal that should not go in. The kicker is after this the refs realized they fucked up and going against what they had been doing, which was call nothing, they then made a makeup call on mcavoy, which the leafs blew, before they then called a weak one on Bert which coyle also sold (embellishment), that was much softer than the direct elbow to Bert’s face by Marchand earlier which was also not called… Quite the series of events. While I was watching the first goal against you could tell there was something going on because the crowd noise was rising because of it lol, everyone was watching it more or less, before the puck was even heading back to the leafs end I was expecting a whistle at any moment. That moment never came until their goal went in. Which everyone was kind of in disbelief about because half the players were involved in the scrum at that point and a few were still playing. Frederic shot it in the net and half the players were like, huh? The other half were scrumming, and the camera cut to the scrum and Frederic skated into and they started cheering lol. One of the weirdest plays I’ve ever seen , and like I said it led to the refs getting involved right after. Complete game changer because the bruins had nothing going to this point.

Glad you admitted bertuzzi dove on that play…..you either let it go or call both

Until his double hip surgery Brad was easily the best overall winger in hockey. Ironically now that title is probably Marners. Brad is no where near as fast or as shifty was he once was and it's been a pretty negative impact on his game. But he still has the hands. Bruins fans would tell you he was bad in game 1 and 2 despite being the second leading producer for the team. It was nice to see him come out and just take over a period. He just dominated the Leafs and right before the extra day in the matchup too. Gave them something to stew on while they waited for the next one. You love to see it.

Man, I was going to rip you because I thought by your headline that you were going to be crying about Marchand but I give you props. Whether you like him or not, and I do, that guy is a future Hall of Famer.

Marchand's an unreal player

But the real question is : Which team is it that you hate?

“ITS OVER IN 5!” this why I love/hate him

I love your videos

Bertuzzi tried to play Marchands game, and got embarrassed. He took the bait on everything.

Imagine Bert playing with marchand with a full year under his belt? They would drive other teams nuts. It's a shame the bruins didn't find a way to sign him. I have to let it go.

Y’all keep showing the trip by Marchand but bertuzzi was interfering for like 30 seconds before that. And all Marchand does is get up on the empty netter not his fault Bertuzzi was flopping on him.
