Referee throws Brad Marchand to the ground after wild scene

Brad Marchand is one of the NHL's most iconic agitators, with his style of play being especially abrasive.

It became too much for referees today, as after a wild scrum that came from a trip from Pontus Holmberg of the Toronto Maple Leafs, a referee threw Brad Marchand to the ground.

Brad Marchand can be seen screaming f**k you at the referee following the incident.

With the Toronto Maple Leafs on the verge of elimination, in many parts thanks to the Boston Bruins' captain's high-end performance in this first round, and the game tied 1-1, it'll be an emotional end of the game at TD Garden.
