Brad Marchand, known for his cheeky remarks, had a humorous comment about newcomer Connor Bedard in a recent pregame interview before a Bruins-Blackhawks matchup.
What makes this particularly amusing is the fact that Bedard is slightly taller and heavier than Marchand. Bedard stands at 5'10" and weighs 185lbs, whereas Marchand's official stats list him at 5'9" and 176lbs.
The game itself saw Bedard score his first NHL goal, a significant achievement for any player. However, Marchand, not one to let rookies steal the limelight, expressed his displeasure. Known for his antics on ice, Marchand decided to remind Bedard of his presence in his signature pesky manner.
Despite Bedard's individual success, it was the Boston Bruins that had the final say. They won the game, somewhat overshadowing Bedard's first career goal. So, in the end, Marchand may have had his playful jab at Bedard, but he also walked away with the satisfaction of a team victory.
