Brad Marchand claims he's not much of a trash-talker anymore
You can file this one under hard to believe. The guy who was voted both the best and worst trash-talker in the league by fellow players this year claims he doesn't do it much anymore.
"I don't really trash talk anymore," Marchand said Thursday, according to Mike Petraglia of CLNS Media Network. "Too many microphones. Referees too. Too many It's just not the generation anymore. Nothing I'm really overly interested in anymore.
Something that a little easier to believe, Marchand says he may chirp teammates in a light-hearted way at practice but he never directs it toward linemate and four-time Selke Trophy winner Patrice Bergeron.
"I absolutely would never - I don't bite the hand that feeds me. I'm a little smarter than that," Marchand told NESN's Mike Cole. "I think the most we've ever got into it is when Pasta (David Pastrnak) and I are getting into it, and Bergy's gotta yell at both of us to stop yelling at each other."
Marchand was in the midst of another excellent season when play was suspended on March 12th, with 28 goals and 87 points through 70 games.
