I would run through 10 brick walls for Saint Patrice

From someone who hates the Bruins and especially Marchand, I love this. Defending teammates (especially a class act like Bergeron) is such a core part of the game and this is a perfect example.

hitting a player like patrice like that is insane. the guy is as clean as they get.

Marchy is 100 percent a Bruin. Every game he give everything for the team and has done for years, this is just another example of that.

I'd hit my own team mate if he hit Bergeron like that, he's an absolute class act

Even as a Sens fan, Love to see it, Always loved the B's brotherhood, this is just good classic Hockey, way it should be.

I absolutely love that Marchand did that. I wish the Penguins had this kind of mentality. After years of watching Sid, Geno, Jake, and others get injured by cheap shots and late hits while their team mates just stand there like "ah ha, we'll get you back by scoring on the power play!" and they don't because the Pens power play has been predictable trash for about five years now.

If you're an opposing player or fan you hate Marchie. But if you're his teammate or a Bruins fan you absolutely love the guy. I'm a lifelong Bruins fan and it had me jumping out of my seat to see how quickly he had Bergeron's back. This shows what a tight knit group those guys are. They'll go to war for their teammates. The great thing about Marchand is he's got the skills to go with the rough stuff. Go Bruins!

So happy to hear Monty say that

Damn straight, absolutely love this response by Marchand. I wish we would see more of it. It’s definitely essential to a team’s success. You can’t succeed without this element to your game!!!! That’s how the game should be played and is vital to playoff success.

As a habs fan, I loved seeing marchand do this. Thats the kind of mentality the habs have been missing for a long time.

Marchy and Bergy would do that for each other in a heartbeat, it's what makes them unique compared to other teams, they don't think about the consequences they will fight for each other in a heartbeat.

The whole thing brought tears to my eyes. It was absolutely beautiful.

hockey 101... it's core to a good culture .

Chara would've picked up that player over his head and throw him over the glass - we need to keep the rivalry alive not only for playoff success but for the fans. Bergy and Brad will be friends to the grave so watch out!

THIS. THIS is hockey.

My favorite part is how the goalie comes out of the net and is just watching like "yeah you probably shouldn't have done that"

I’m a habs fan and by no means a bruins fan. Also a big fan of Pitlick and Bergeron, and have immense respect for Marchand (lol). March was so right in this play and I love to see this.

Not only is it great to see Marchant sticking up for his team, it's great to see his coach backing his actions 100% and not pussy-footing around with media "We don't condone that kind of action" type bullshit

Long-time Bruins fan going back to Orr and Marchand is what the Black & Gold are all about-- tough, talented, always plays at 100%, and a guy every other team wishes was on theirs. He didn't even hesitate to sort this situation.
