Brad Marchand and Carolina Hurricanes forward Vincent Trocheck exchanged barbs last week with the Boston Bruins winger comically shutting down what started when Trocheck was asked about an on-ice comparison of the two players.
“This is like comparing a Lambo to a Prius,” Marchand wrote in a since-deleted Instagram with pictures of each player’s career stats.
Marchand’s response to Trocheck came after Trocheck appeared to essentially call the Bruins veteran a rat.
Well Marchand, prior to the Bruins facing the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday night on TNT, was asked about the now-deleted social media post.
“No, I knew he was a good player. It was more I just didn’t want him on my feed,” Marchand said with a smirk. “That was more of what it was, as soon as the big media outlets got it then I got rid of it because I knew it was already out there.”

It was one of a handful of times recently that Marchand found himself circulating social media as his video on a young fan’s phone went viral just a few days later.
