It doesn’t matter if it’s in the middle of the game, during a media scrum, or on social media, Brad Marchand knows how to get under the skin of his opponents and fans of other teams.

You’re probably well aware of the Boston Bruins forward’s most recent troll job which came on Twitter on Monday night following Mitch Marner’s second straight three-point performance, but here it is again in case you need a reminder.



I cant wait to see this kids new deal... 12m AAV?? It better be#Marnerwatch — Brad Marchand (@Bmarch63) March 5, 2019

Some saw the tweet as Marchand showing credit where it’s due, but Maple Leafs fans knew exactly what Marchand was trying to do with his post and so did the players as they didn’t let it get to them.



Following the Bruins’ victory over the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday night, the 30-year-old was asked about his recent tweet regarding Mitch Marner’s contract situation and he told reporters that it wasn’t a troll job it was just his way of trying to give Marner some credit for his outstanding season.

“Some people really took that the wrong way. I mean give the kid credit, he’s a great player, that’s all I was trying to get at. He’s having a great year.” pic.twitter.com/QnXJq0ZN0c — Boston Bruins on CLNS (@BruinsCLNS) March 6, 2019

It’s hard to take Marchand’s word on this one considering he had a smirk on his face the entire time he answered the question, but we’ll try to take his word on this.
