"I've known Marchand for as long as I've been in the league, and as long as I've been in hockey. I won a gold medal with him at 18, played in the world juniors. I've known him, I've seen him get over on hundreds, maybe thousands of guys. This was one moment where he was the hydrant, not the dog.
This was a moment where he was the bug out the windshield. So I think that for Brad Marchand, probably a long time coming for him, but it's unfortunate he got knocked out of the series. That's just a part of the game, though. That's playoff hockey. These things are going to happen."
