Brad Marchand’s season is over, but his chirping ability remains in midseason form.
The Boston Bruins winger saw his team’s season come to an end Sunday afternoon when the Tampa Bay Lightning stifled the B’s in Game 5 of their second-round Stanley Cup playoff series.
Bruins haters far and wide reveled in the result, and Marchand’s biggest critics were downright gleeful, as the winger was silenced in the decisive game. On the heels of his licking antics, everyone was ready to pile on.
That included the Bruins’ bitter rivals, the Montreal Canadiens, who referenced Marchand’s tongue work in a tweet Monday reading, “Without naming names, just a reminder that licking is frowned upon on the golf course as well,” with a link to a story about the “hidden hazard in licking golf balls.”
Obviously, Marchand wasn’t going to take that jab laying down, especially considering the Habs — projected by many to contend in the Eastern Conference — finished with the league’s fourth-fewest points.
So, he responded.
That’s one more loss for the Canadiens during the 2017-18 season. It also wasn’t the only trolling Marchand did during a busy Monday on the internet.
