On Monday night, Marchand scored the game-winning goal in overtime to tie the first-round series with the Washington Capitals at one game apiece. And, in the end, he managed to get some justice for himself on a few other matters.
Marchand scored 39 seconds into overtime for the Bruins, making up for two earlier penalties for post-whistle antics, one of which he got with this sneaky punch.
The funny thing about Marchand is that head coach Bruce Cassidy dared to say he had matured while congratulating his player for the game-winning goal. But, sure, Marchand got back on the right track to score in overtime.
«I think he's matured enough now to not take himself out of the game. Maybe that would have been a game in the past he would've let it get to him and he wouldn't have been an effective player, but he found his game and certainly a big part of the win with the overtime winner,» Cassidy said.
